The first two are actually running as services. The others are running as applications. CF/JRun can run as an application or as a service. If it's running as an application, you won't be able to start the corresponding service while the application is running. Kill the application instances and start them as services, and I'll bet they'll start then. It's fairly common to run J2EE servers as applications in a development environment, as you can more easily stop and start them, interact with them, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
