Excellent. Thanks, Mark. I must have blown right past that when I
originally installed.

An even easier solution is to select the NT Service option when
installing
Tomcat. Then you don't even need jk_nt_service.

Subject: Tomcat as service - space in path in wrapper.properties -
workaround
I didn't see this specific topic or workaround in the archives so thought I
would share - since it seems like this could be a fairly common problem. I
hope it saves someone a little time troubleshooting.
_Situation_: Attempting to run tomcat 4.0.4 as a service on NT4.0 SP6 using
jk_nt_service.exe.
May apply to other versions of Tomcat and Windows as well.
_Symptoms_: Command jk_nt_service -i tomcat -a wrappers.properties adds
the service just fine, but attempting to start the service with command
jk_nt_service -s tomcat or from NT Services panel fails.
_Most Likely Cause_ (Of course you may have other problems that I don't
know about, but this one will definitely hang you up): Spaces in your path
definitions. For example, I originally had the setting:
wrapper.tomcat_home=d:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0
Quoting the path with double or single quotes will not rectify the problem
either.
_Workaround_: Use Dir -X to find the short (DOS 8.3) names of your
directories and use those instead. For example, my new path setting is:
wrapper.tomcat_home=d:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1.0
This will eliminate the spaces and the service will start happily. If this
doesn't solve your problem, then you've got something else wrong and I
can't help you.
Good Luck
Doug
