Unable to start Lucee : Service not responding

Hi,

New install of Lucee, using the windows installer lucee-5.3.9.160-pl0-windows-installer.exe.

Checking the install log I have:

Installing IIS Connector (this can take some time…)
Executing C:\lucee\AJP13\Connector_Setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOG /SP- /NOCANCEL /NORESTART
Script exit code: 0

Script output:

Script stderr:

Checking logs under the Tomcat directory

The error is of course: 127.0.0.1 ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I use ACF locally on this PC, which works okay.

Apologies, I didn’t find an install guide.

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

OS: Windows 10

Some more troubleshooting shows Tomcat not starting via Windows services.

I have created java_home, and jre_home system environment variables.

When starting via windows:

Services

Windows could not start the Apache Tomcat 9.0 Lucee on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1.

Running:
C:\lucee\tomcat\bin\startup.bat

Using CATALINA_BASE: “C:\lucee\tomcat”
Using CATALINA_HOME: “C:\lucee\tomcat”
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: “C:\lucee\tomcat\temp”
Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_341"
Using CLASSPATH: “C:\lucee\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\lucee\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar”
Using CATALINA_OPTS: “”

which opens another terminal with Tomcat running

There is an error:

Do I need to run a 32 JRE? Is that what it is complainign about?

Spitballing based on the detailed info you provided and the error message. It thinks your environment is 32bit.

Double check that you are running 64bit. Based on the path (x86), that’s 32 bit JRE. Perhaps you have two versions and need an updated environment variable?

Hi,
I really just accepted the defaults for all of the installer options, so it’s strange that it might choose a 32 bit jre when it wants a 64 bit one.

I have installed a 64 bit JDK now as well. ( one of the installer errors specified I wanted a JDK )

In the end, I un-installed Lucee, removed the two environment variables, rebooted, re-installed and chose the option to use the bundled JRE, and now the URL Rapid web development with Lucee! works.

Thanks,

Good catch, I have changed the auto detect java to require a 64 bit version for the next release
