i test 9.0.24 and 9.0.26 in my machine. after install to service. start the service, it will crash.
but i can start the tomcat by startup.bat.

9.0.22 is worked well in the same machine.

java version "1.8.0_201"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode)

windows 2012 standard x64.

there are no logs in tomcat\log folder.

Comment 1 王化亮 2019-09-24 07:59:08 UTC
it is not all windows 2012 doesn't work. it is random, i can't find the root case.
Comment 2 Mark Thomas 2019-09-24 18:24:24 UTC
To investigate this we'll need the steps to reproduce this on a clean install of the latest Tomcat 9.0.x release.

That you see different behaviour on different Windows 2012 systems suggests there is some factor external to Tomcat that is involved.

Some things to try/investigate:
- ensure all machines are fully patched
- on servers where this fails does a clean install with no additional
  configuration fail?
- enable debug logging for Commons Daemon

1.i fresh install windows 2012 x64, use this image.
en_windows_server_2012_vl_x64_dvd_917758.iso

2.install jdk1.8_201, set java_home
3.download tomcat9.0.26, unzip to C:\apache-tomcat-9.0.26
4.run service.bat install
5.start tomcat9 service.

it is crashed.

the common daemon debug log is:

Comment 4 Mark Thomas 2019-09-25 10:07:50 UTC
I have been able to re-create this. Here are a few more details for the record

en_windows_server_2012_vl_x64_dvd_917758.iso
 - via My Visual Studio
 - Standard install with GUI
 - UK locale
 - All other settings using defaults
 - Networking configured via DHCP

Oracle jdk1.8_201 Windows 64-bit
 - default installation options

Java_HOME set to:
 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201

apache-tomcat-9.0.26-windows-x64.zip
 - extract to C:\

I'm currently running Windows update to see if the root cause is a missing update.
Comment 5 Mark Thomas 2019-09-25 10:37:01 UTC
Installed Windows Update Agent 7.8.9200.16924 - no change.

Installed 2019-09 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2012 for x64-based Systems (KB4516069) - problem resolved.

This does indeed look like an issue with a missing update.

Generally, Commons Daemon (and Tomcat) work on the basis that they are supported if all current updates have been applied. On that basis this looks like an issue with the server. That said, I'd like to dig into why this is happening as there may be scope to work-around the missing update in the Commons Daemon code.
Comment 6 Mark Thomas 2019-09-25 11:22:49 UTC
Found it. A good demonstration of my lack of C coding skills. I failed to initialise a variable so it was non-NULL when I expected it to be NULL causing Commons Daemon to try and call a function that didn't exist. Hence the crash.

I have a fix which I have tested locally. I'll get the fix applied to Commons Daemon start the release process. Hopefully we'll be able to pick up the fix in the next round of Tomcat releases.
Comment 7 Mark Thomas 2019-09-25 11:30:54 UTC
Already reported against Commons Daemon as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-408
Comment 8 王化亮 2019-09-26 01:36:11 UTC
thank you very much!

This should be caught by the compiler, even if it's a non-fatal compiler error.

Can you confirm that the compiler didn't complain about it? Perhaps there are more compiler flags we can add to the build in order to convert a non-fatal error into a fatal one.
Comment 10 Mark Thomas 2019-09-30 08:47:11 UTC
The compiler didn't report it.

The compiler runs with the default -W3 flag. The relevant warning is not shown unless you run with -W4.

Switching to -W4 generates quite a few warnings. I'm currently reviewing them.
Comment 11 Mark Thomas 2019-10-04 08:33:43 UTC
Commons Daemon 1.2.2 has been released and the Tomcat buildhas been updated to use it.

Fixed in:
- master for 9.0.27 onwards
- 8.5.x for 8.5.47 onwards
- 7.0.x for 7.0.97 onwards
