Apache Portable Runtime Startup Error/Advice

[m.monroe]

I have installed the recent version of Tomcat 5.5.12 and do not understand how to resolve this startup error.

INFO: The Apache Portable Runtime which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;.;
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system3
2\WBEM;C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin

I am new and I don't understand this and cannot find anything in the documentation. If anyone can help me resolve this matter I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance!!!

I found a solution for this problem, I was having the same problem as you did.
You must download a dll file and save it on your bin folder of the Java SDK folder. The dll file can be found here:
http://tomcat.heanet.ie/native/1.1.0/binaries/win32/tcnative-1.dll

The full explanation can be found at the official Tomcat page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html

I hope it helps.

Oh my goodness,

You are wonderful, Andre'!!! Thank you very much for your reply! You have totally helped me out!!!

Everything is just fine now. It's not that Tomcat did not work right but it was the curiosity of why that error was there and how to make it go away that made my nuts!

Have a wonderful, wonderful November and December and best of luck with your endevours!!!
