I have Alfresco Community 2.9.0B working fine with Tomcat and SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server when run from the batch file. But I am struggling to get it running as a service. I followed the instructions at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_Alfresco_as_a_Windows_Service but I continue to get the error "[174 javajni.c] [error] The specified module could not be found" when trying to start the service.
I've added the JAVA_HOME environment variable, though the service configuration has its own. I've also added the JDK bin folder to the PATH variable to get at msvcr71.dll per numerous comments regarding this error found by Google search.
Tomcat version 5 and JDK 1.6.0_06. My knowledge of Tomcat is limited to this install.
I would appreciate any suggestions. I tried searching the forums but was continually told that my search terms were too common.
We resolved this a while back… I can't remember the specifics but it's something to do with the the dll that you specify for the jvm. if you get the wrong one then it will give you this… if you give the right one then it gives the error seen here: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/DOC-58
Thanks for pointing me to documented issue on Alfresco's website.
The resolution was the one that I had hoped to avoid, copying msvcr71.dll to System32. But it worked, so I'll live with it and make note for my next install.
