| How to use Audium 3.2.x when Tomcat is running as a Windows service | ||||||||||||
| Categories: Audium 3.2.x | ||||||||||||
This article explains the steps a developer should take to run Audium 3.2.x on a Tomcat installation that is running as a service on Windows. SYMPTOMS When Tomcat is run as a service, it throws the following exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: AUDIUM SERVER ERROR: An error occurred during initialization of the server: AUDIUM_HOME is not defined RESOLUTION The environment variable AUDIUM_HOME is not available to Tomcat at startup, since Windows services start before environment variables are available. If you would like to continue to run Tomcat as a service, take the following steps to make the AUDIUM_HOME environment variable available at startup: 1. Run the "regedit" application (administrator privileges are required to make registry changes). 2. Follow path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ApacheTomcat\ Parameters 3. Modify "JVM Option Count" to 3 (make sure it is in decimal format). 4. Create a new "String Value" and give it the name: "JVM Option Number 2". 5. Double-click the newly created string value. 6. Under "Value data:" enter "-DAudium.Home=AUDIUM_HOME" where AUDIUM_HOME is the full path of the Audium directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Audium\"). 7. Restart Windows. Note that Tomcat as a service will not produce a console window. Check the Tomcat logs (stdout) to ensure that Audium Server has started correctly. |
