Title: Re: Tomcat can't start as service

Well, it seems to me that Group\tomcat\... is wrong, it should be Apache Group\tomcat\... which says you should install the tomcat under HDD root directory, such as C:\tomcat, and C:\apache. On my Linux box for example, I have to escape the spaces with \, like /dir/Apache\ Group/, or quote the path, like "/dir/Apache Group/". Now after moving servers to root directory, should solve the problem. Also even documentation says that it's must be installed under C:\ for example, if possible, avoiding spaces. John.
