Hi, my uncle have a Laptop with Windows 7 and asked me to configure Apache Tomcat server on his PC. After I installed the server, it worked and from the very next day it didn’t start at the startup nor the manual start. I opened the “services.msc” and viewed the service, but still no luck on starting. I viewed the location of the service and found something like “tomcat7.exe //RC//Apache“(I really forgot that). Then I opened the location where the bin folder is located on the explorer. So I opened: Program Files\Apache…\Tomcat\bin\
After that I opened a Command prompt there and tried opening the Tomcat.exe with required parameter and found that there is some missing dll. After that I opened the log file and saw something as:

[error] The specified module could not be found.
[error] Failed creating java C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\client\jvm.dll
[error] The specified module could not be found.
[error] ServiceStart returned 1
[error] The specified module could not be found.

So, I traced the path for C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\client\jvm.dll found that the file is missing and I tried locating the file in another location. Since my uncle isn’t any developer, he hasn’t kept any jre and I found it on JDK location. Then I followed some steps as on the image below:

In the image above it have # I browsed and located the jre jvm location.
Hope this solution works
Enjoy
