Java – Tomcat: startup.bat is missing

batch-filejavatomcatwindows

In many materials about tomcat what I've looked I saw that authors uses exeternal batch script for start and stop tomcat.

I didn't see information about wrting this script. I think this script provided by tomcat.

I used exe file for installing my tomcat 7 on my windows 7. In tomcat directory I search startup.bat. This file is missed.

Can you help me?

It should be in the /bin directory. If you're missing this file possibly it means that you have installed Tomcat using Windows Installer. Try to download appropriate .zip archive, I believe that you will find startup script there.

If we assume your install is in C:\program files\apache software foundation\apache-tomcat{ver}\

then it is inside, in the log directory, in a file catalina.out.

C:\program files\apache software foundation\apache-tomcat{ver}\logs\catalina.out

It's worth to note the name of the file depends on your configuration, also the name of the logs directory can be different depending on configuration but I assume you preserved default config.

Java – Starting of Tomcat failed from Netbeans

It affects at least NetBeans versions 7.4 through 8.0.2. It was first reported from version 8.0 and fixed in NetBeans 8.1. It would have had the problem for any tomcat version (confirmed for versions 7.0.56 through 8.0.28).

Specifics are described as Netbeans bug #248182.

This problem is also related to postings mentioning the following error output:

'127.0.0.1*' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

For a tomcat installed from the zip file, I fixed it by changing the catalina.bat file in the tomcat bin directory.

Find the bellow configuration in your catalina.bat file.

:noJuliConfig
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_CONFIG%"

:noJuliManager
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_MANAGER%"

And change it as in below by removing the double quotes:

:noJuliConfig
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_CONFIG%

:noJuliManager
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_MANAGER%

Now save your changes, and start your tomcat from within NetBeans.
