Re: Windows Server issue?
The only issue I have seen where no pages are being displayed, not even the config page, was due to the jakarta (sp?) web plugin. I uninstalled Mid-Tier, TomCat and the Jakarts ASPI plugin from Add/ Remove programs. I then went into the IIS control panel and manually removed the entry for the Jakarta Web Services plugin. Right click, Remove (or Delete). Then reinstalled mid-tier and tomcat.

Re: Windows Server issue?
I found a working setup for R2 x64 last year, where I installed tomcat with mid-tier 7.1 and then set the service to run under a domain account that was added to the local power users group. I was already doing this on my non-R2 development mid-tier server, so maybe I just lucked out when I replicated the setup on the R2 production server. You would need to add that account to the tomcat-users.xml file with a role of manager, too.

Re: Windows Server issue?
We are also using prefetch, which I like a lot now in MT 7.1, but we keep seeing that memory grow to the max tomcat setting. We are on tomcat 5.5.17 so an upgrade sounds like it is in order. Another tricky thing we have going on here is that we have RKM 7.2 running on the same box.
