A colleague helped me resolve this. It turns out that the Midtier will NOT work with Tomcat installed anywhere but on C, unless you want to change some registry settings in Windows. I reinstalled Tomcat on C and it worked okay. Another gotcha is for some reason, perhaps it has to do with a flaw in the installer, the application administration password and the midtier passwords got messed up and would not allow a login through the midtier, regardless of which user I attempted to log in with. Resetting the same passwords on the AR Server Administration console as well as resetting the Midtier administrator password, then checking "Validate password" cleared the problem. But I had done all of that the first time with the installer. Apparently it is necessary to go back and add them all in again.

That is where all the port definitions should be. Good luck, Matt R.

What is your port configuration? By default Tomcat should use 8080 and IIS should be using 80.

Maybe the process is hung? Try restarting after making sure the java process that starts up tomcat is killed.

Could whoever put that up there please show how to uncomment that, because I think I am having that problem - the localhost won't show anything when I try to open the page. Thanks!

What version of the mid-tier application are you on? Recently I switched to patch 006 and it ceased to crash my tomcat server ever so often. In fact none of my 10 servers have crashed as yet and its been 3 days. According to Remedy support a memory related issue was addressed on patch 006 which addressed OutOfMemory errors. Read the readme files for all the bugs that were resolved by Patch 006.. Read my posts about tomcat settings where someone else on the list asked something similar..

Q1. Where I can get the Remedy recommended configuration for IIS-Tomcat? Q2. How to change the JVM setting for Tomcat? Q3. How to make Tomcat logs timestamp along with the log messages. Reason: I see my Tomcat crashing every 2 days once without any error messages. __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
