This abobe knowledge base article was not the solution in our case for the error.

What we found was that in the wrapper.conf (<InstallDir>\wrapper\conf\wrapper.conf) the following lines were present

wrapper.java.additional.11=-Dfisheye.inst="D:/fisheye-2.8.2/database"

wrapper.java.additional.12=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

wrapper.java.additional.13=-Xrs

...

…

wrapper.java.additional.11=-XX:PermSize=256m

As a result the service could not find the database and went off to try the to create its own.

The resolution in our case was to update the duplicate increment in the wrapper.conf to 14

wrapper.java.additional.14=-XX:PermSize=256m
