RE: Can't start tomcat 5.5.26 service on windows

Hi,

Thank you for the debugging tip.  

Running service.bat worked:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin>service.bat
install
Installing the service 'Tomcat5' ...
Using CATALINA_HOME:    C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
Using CATALINA_BASE:    C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
Using JAVA_HOME:        C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12
Using JVM:              auto
The service 'Tomcat5' has been installed.

I can start and stop the service from the windows control panel
and I can hit the default tomcat page on http://localhost:8080/ 

Does this suggest a cause to my earlier problems?  

(I'll try the GUI next.)

Thanks,

Eric

What happens if you enter the parameters via the tomcat5w.exe GUI?  (I
realize that doesn't fit your delivery requirements, but I suggest this
just to see if you can get the service working at all.)  You should
probably go through a deinstall and reinstall of the .zip just to clean
things up, then run the service.bat script to set up the service.
