  2. Ensure that you do not have another server running on port 8082.
  3. The  tomcat bundle can run either with a JRE or JDK
    1. For a JRE, make sure that the JRE_HOME environment variable is set to the installation directory of your JRE, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 and that JAVA_HOME is not set
    2. For a JDK, make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the installation directory of your JDK, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09
  4. Unpack the frevvo.zip file to the location of your choice: e.g. c:\.  A frevvo subfolder will be created and the bundle files will be extracted and placed in this directory. We'll refer to this directory as <frevvo-home>.

Installing as Windows Service

 can be installed and started/stopped as a Windows Service. Batch files provided in the <frevvo-home> directory can install, configure and monitor the  service: 

...

4. Right click the My Computer icon. Select Manage, Services and Applications, Services. The service should be listed.

Install as a service on Windows (x64)

If you want to install  as a service on a x64 installation of Windows you will need to perform a few additional steps.  

...

7. Now try to start and stop the service and remember to check the service logs both in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/logs/frevvoforms-stderr.YYYY-MM-DD.log and the Windows System Event log for details.

Live Forms fails to install/start as windows service

Running c:\frevvo\Install Service fails to install the  service and fails to run as a windows service. Make sure the %JAVA_HOME%/bin is added to the system PATH Environment Variable.

...

 If you see the error message shown when starting the service on an x64 install,  make sure the Startup/Shutdown mode was changed from jvm to java. See above for the details.

Windows Binaries

Previous versions of the Windows binaries (executables and dlls) found in the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folder were built for x86 (32-bit) architectures and will not work on a x64 architecture (64-bits). We are now bundling the tomcat version 7.0.35 binaries for the three architectures inside <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folders:  <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x64,  <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\i64 and  <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x86.

...

  • Replace tomcat7.exe, tomcat7w.exe and tcnative-1.dll found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin with the ones found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/x64 (for 64-bit architectures) or the ones found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/i64 (for Itanium 64-bit architectures).

frevvo.war

The  application frevvo.war now runs directly from the war file. This means that frevvo.war no longer expands its contents into <frevvo-home>\tomcat\temp or <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo. Tomcat still does create a temp folder, for example <frevvo-home>\tomcat\temp\0-frevvo (the actual folder depends on where java.io.tmpdir is pointing to) to store form/flow cached html and other temporary files.
