The alfrescoTomcat service terminated with service-specific error 1 (0x1).

Did an install of 4.2 Community on a freshly built 2003R2 64bit server today.  Tomcat won't start and throws up this error.  Any ideas?

Hi,
you're using Win2008R2 64bit, aren't you? Also with bundled PostgreSQL?
Did you installed the 1.7 JDK or are you using the installer bundled one?
Are JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables set?

Regards,
Andrea

I am having the same problem with the installer for 4.2.f Win64.

This is a fresh install.  The JDK is working, PostgreSQL installs and is wirking.  Tomcat fails.

Same problem with log :

c:\alfresco-4.2.f\tomcat\bin>catalina.bat configtest

It seams there is a problem with the command line. The double quotes

The command line is :

This is a problem with 4.2.f x64 bundle. I can confirm, it's not environment issue, it's developer mess up.
Try 4.3.a, it works: http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/

Whew! I am so glad I found this post!

I installed 4.2.f on Win Server 2008 r2 and couldn't get Alfresco to run - tomcat failed to start because it couldn't load Java (same error as the first post). I have been tweaking the environment variables and everything else. Was about to start a topic when I found this. Thanks.

Will try the 4.2.a version.

Is the 4.2.f error going to be fixed anytime soon?

Remove below configuration from setenv.bat file inside "alfresco-community\tomcat\bin" path of alfresco installation.

Few of the things from below configuration will be needed for running image magick and other things.But by removing it you will be able to start server using catalina.bat file in in windows server.

For making other things run , still need to figure out the solution

set JAVA_OPTS=++JvmOptions="-XX:+DisableExplicitGC" ++JvmOptions="-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" ++JvmOptions="-XX:+UseParNewGC" ++JvmOptions="-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m" ++JvmOptions="-Dalfresco.home=C:\alfresco-community" --JvmMs 512 --JvmMx 8133
