Error configuring wildfly as a windows service - windows

I am using wildfly 10.1 in standalone mode and need to use it as a service.
I copied the service files to the bin folder and then installed the service from the command prompt.
This works well, except that it is impossible to stop the service without killing the process using taskkill.
As a fix, I tried replacing
set DESCRIPTION="WildFly Application Server"
with
set DESCRIPTION=WildFly Application Server
in the service.bat file as mentioned here. But this is causing the service not to start. The system log says:
The Wildfly service terminated with the following service-specific
error: Incorrect function.
How can I fix this issue and get the service starting and stoppping normally?

Add System variable JAVA_HOME to System variable and try to start the service. It worked for me.

TomCat 9 service failed to start on Windows after TomCat 9 update

I updated my app to the latest TomCat 9 available and after update TomCat service failed to start successfully as Windows service. I just see 404 error when trying to open the TomCat app. Also there are no logs at all in the log directory!
If I start TomCat locally by the command tomcat9.exe" //TS//MyApp it started successfully.
OS: Windows 7 and Server 2012
Does anybody have any ideas of how to troubleshoot this issue?
I think I had the same problem.
By default, Tomcat9 installs a service to run as "LOCAL SERVICE" instead of "SYSTEM".
I found that if you go the properties on your service and select the "Log On" option "Local System account", that it will then start to work.
In my case tomcat wouldn't log what the problem was, so there was no easy way to diagnose this.
Maybe this could be diagnosed by running Process Monitor, then seeing what directory it wanted to log to, then change the permissions on that directory so that any user could write to it.
Tomcat has a new option to launch as s SYSTEM: --ServiceUser=LocalSystem
Add it to the tomcat9w.exe //IS// --ServiceUser=LocalSystem

How to pass environment variable to Tomcat running as Windows service

I have an application installed in Tomcat that is invoked by the wrapper which sets an environment variable
set FOO=c:\foo
and invokes the startup.bat, and I have a requirement to run Tomcat as windows service.
So far, I tried to set the system environment variable, which did not help.
I tried following the windows service HOWTO appending ++Environment in the registry, so that
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tomcat7\Parameters\ImagePath
looks like this
C:\Apache\Tomcat-7.0.64\bin\Tomcat7.exe //RS//Tomcat7 ++Environment=FOO=c:\foo
That did not help either.
Any suggestions, please
You were almost there. Replace the equal sign with a space in your tomcat7 command, and that should work.
I've just written this up on another question: Setting User Environment Variables for tomcat on Windows
I had to change --JvmOptions of the service.bat file then remove the service and re-install again.
--JvmOptions "-Dspring.profiles.active=pp;-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%;...."
I have a InstallService.bat file. In the file I am first creating the service without specifying the Environment variable and then I am updating the service with the Environment variable specified.This is how the bat file looks like.
tomcat8 //IS//CompassTomcat8_8080 --DisplayName="Compass Apache Tomcat 8:8080" --Install=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat8.exe --Startup=auto
tomcat8 //US//CompassTomcat8_8080 --DisplayName="Compass Apache Tomcat 8:8080" --Install=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat8.exe --Startup=auto --Environment=Key1=Value1;Key2=Value2
It has started working now.

mongodb : listen() attempts to access socket in a forbidden way

I downloaded 64-bit zipped version of mongodb for windows, created '/data/db' as instructed.
Now, when I run "mongod" command, I am getting the following error & the mongodb server shuts down automatically.
"ERROR : listen() failed error-10013. An attempt was made to access socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. "
Please help me to clear the firewall settings in windows to prevent this error & run mongodb.
I was able to fix the error by using the following command : "mongod --bind_ip="127.0.0.1". :)
This error also seems to happen when mongod is already running. On Windows 10, mongod will be listed under Background Processes in the Task Manager if it is running. If it is already running, ending the task should allow you to run mongod again without this error occurring. Also check that it is not running as a service; it may be set to restart automatically.
Also, if you have a docker container running mongodb, you also get this error. If you stop your container(s) running mongodb, then it should start up.
I was able to fix this issue by allowing access for Mongo Db Server Application under firewall settings in my antivirus settings.
After you did the above step,open the cmd as administrator and go to the bin path of mongodb application in your system.
Then run the below command.
mongod
Note : try the above steps only after you tried the below steps
1) https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/configure-windows-netsh-firewall/
2)https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-open-firewall-ports-in-windows-10,36451.html
I ran across a similar error which is why I ended up on this thread. For me, my solution was that McAfee Antivirus was blocking MongoDB.
The initial error basically showed that access was denied for mongo:
mongo error
I was able to do a search on the internet and found steps to allow MongoDB to run under McAfee Antivirus software by changing the setting for the app directly.
mcaffee settings
When I located MongoDB in the apps requesting internet access, it was initially set to blocked. I selected the app, clicked on edit and changed it to 'Designated ports'.
mongodb settings changed
Now, I am able to run mongo whether the mongod service is started automatically or if I start it manually in a hyper terminal window.

websphere not starting with error ADMU7704E

I created websphere server. I was able to launch my application with it. However after I enable the debugging , the server is not starting. I am getting the following error
"ADMU7704E: Failed while trying to start the Windows Service associated with
server: server1; probable error executing WASService.exe"
On some sites a workaround was to delete server.pid file but I am not seeing any such files in the location.
Please suggest
The first thing to test is to disable the WAS Windows service from Windows Services Panel and then try to start server using command line ie startserver.bat
You run this command from PROFILE_HOME/bin. if this starts fine, you can recreate the service using wasservicecmd
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21397335
If the manual startup fails , please check if any logs created under PROFILE_HOME/logs// Check for any error messages in SystemOut.log, SystemErr.log , native_stderr and native_stdout logs.
PROFILE_HOME is home directory of WAS profile.

Hudson Running as a Service not Starting

I downloaded Hudson, and am trying to install it as a service. I followed the steps from this page, but when I try to start the service, it always fails. I'm not really getting any defined error codes either. If I try to run the service from the command line (using net start) I get the following (unhelpful) message:
The hudson service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
The install process seemed to work fine, as the hudson service is installed, and all the files are in the new directory, but the service won't start. Has anyone else run into this problem?
As documented on that page, they have a note of...
If a restart fails for some reason, check the output from Hudson, which is stored in the installation directory that you specified.
Is there anything to denote further errors?
