Hi All,

I have noticed that everyone now and then that I am not able to start
Apache DS as a windows service;
so today I tried to start it as a console application and then I see the
following stacktrace, does
anyone have an idea what is going on? I have copied log4.properties to my
ApacheDS instance
conf directory but I still continue to see the stacktrace and moreover, my
Apache DS will not
start anymore. Here is the stacktrace and the log4.properties that I am
using.

Have you loaded and installed a 32 bits package on your 64 bit machine ?

Hi

Yes, in fact, if I re-install ApachDS, it runs for say a couple of weeks,
then all of a sudden
I notice this behavior and then I have to reinstall ApachDS again to get
things going,
it is really annoying and I would like to get to the bottom of it ...

Thanks,

Ike

I wonder if some other process or installer is replacing thr wrapper ?

May be make it read only ?

Hi, we had a similar problem where java was being auto updated on one of our machines.
We stick with a 32bit java runtime on non-production boxes. 64bit machines require a registered copy of the java service wrapper.
Hope that helps.

Damn it, you are right !

Tanuki changed its license from an MIT license to a proprietary one in
the following versions, and teh Windows 64 bits version is not available
for free with a compatible license.

That means you can't use a 64 bits JVM on windows.

There is an opened JIRA for switching to a better wrapper...

Thanks Carlo !
