Tomcat Native Library not found

Posted by gwinnem on November 10, 2009

Have you ever seen this when you are starting up tomcat ?
tomcat error

This is because your tomcat installation is not installed with the native apache portable runtime.
Although this is ok in a development environment, its not recomended for production.
In order to have a optimized server with proper scalabillity you should install this on a production server.

For more reading about the subject: Tomcat 6.0 documentation

How to install it
Download the correct dll from one of the links:
Windows 32 dll
Windows 64 dlls

Copy the dll to the bin directory of your tomcat server:
tomcatnative

Make sure that the bin directory is in the path before starting up tomcat again.
tomcatnativeok

Voila 🙂
