Hi,
I had a similar problem on winblows 2000 server a while ago, I had installed
tomcat to ...\Tomcat 4.1\ and I had to reinstall it to ...\Tomcat_4.1\ and all
worked fine. On winblows, spaces in variables in CLASSPATH, PATH... tend to
cause problems and the killer is, not on every installation of the same version
of winblows. Try reinstalling to a path containing no spaces and reset your
env vars. Like the following:
Instead of your path:
"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin\tomcat.exe
try something like:
"C:\Program Files\Apache_Software_Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin\tomcat.exe
All because winblows sux

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be it. The service is looking at
"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.0\bin\tomcat.exe //RS//Tomcat5"
which is correct. I don't know what the parameter "//RS//Tomcat5" is
for but it matches what's working on other machines. Also the JAVA_HOME
and CATALINA_HOME enviroment variables are correct. The actual text of
the error message is
"The Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer started and then
stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work
to do, for example, the Performace Logs and Alerts service."
I'm not finding anything in the Tomcat logs, which makes me suspect that
Tomcat is not in fact actually starting, but I don't know how to tell
for sure.
Cheers,
