Aware/Tomcat does not run as a Windows service

[robleer]

Hi,

I've installed version 6 onto a Windows 2012 R2 Server. Running on a MySQL database.
When I start Aware manually, it works fine. Both Aware and Tomcat start and the system works.

I've also ran the .bat file to register Tomcat and Aware as a Windows service, but they wont start.

When I start the Tomcat from the Services windows it says:

Windows could not start the Tomcat service on Local Computer.
Error 1: Incorrect function.


The wrapper.log says:

Any clue??

Did you install it as "Administrator"?
After install, the first time, just Go to Aware Service and START. It will automatically start Tomcat.

Also, be sure to upgrade to Aware build 2030. The earlier builds had some issues with service. But I use it on Win8.1 during development.

To start manually: Start Aware.
To stop manually: Stop Tomcat
