I am using Tomcat 4.0.2 with Win2K and IIS 5.0 as an NT Service without any difficulties. There is a bug with NT services that you need to be aware of on 3.2.

There also appears to be an issue with the wrapper.properties file (which you supply as a command-line parameter to jk_nt_service.exe) in that the wrapper.jvm.options is not being properly read if left blank. If you're using JDK1.3.1 or higher, put wrapper.jvm.options=-Xrs. It should start properly. I notice that you're using v3.2.4. Any particular reason for sticking to that version? I am using v3.3.1 on Win2K with IIS. Tomcat is also running as a service. If it's any help, I could post the detailed steps here for my setup, or e-mail them direct to you. In my opinion, v.3.3.x is the most well-documented and well-supported version of Tomcat for Win2K. You are right in that there are many documents (or rather, parts of documents) to read in configuring Tomcat. Not only that: given the numerous versions of the software, it's practically essential to note down the version number when asking for help. Often, you'd have to search through the mailing lists for resolution to a specific problem (assuming one exists!). Hope this helps you, and if you have any questions, just ask it on this list.

I am very patient, and yes I've read the install documentation carefully and followed it step by step, that I am sure of. However the install documentation is way too long, too many things users have to consider. My setup is Win2000, IIS and Tomcat3.2.4. I've managed to get tomcat to work, however it doesn't run with IIS nor did I manage to install tomcat as a service. My problem is this When starting the NT service I get: Asked (and given) winsock 1.1 Error: StartServiceCtrlDispatcher failed.

I am NOT a programmer, and pretty easily figured out the BASIC installation, ie:unzip/expand and run. Is it possible this is a case of No Planning, or Not Reading the ample documentation, How many unanswered questions have you posted? I'm sorry, but this type of message leaves me to believe you spent NO effort to solve your own problems, read the documentation, or spec your project. It would seem that PHP, JSP, CFM, ASP, etc.. are each suited to particular needs. I can't say that I would want to go from one to another without a better plan. In 16 years, I have seen a lot of software, for a lot of money, free, commercial and everything in between. I personally haven't gotten that involved in "open source" projects except for the last couple years, while I don't feel I'm qualified to do much, I do what I can. The power of hundreds and thousands of minds, is far better than anything I have seen. While it is often true, extra pains are taken to get things working, installed or configured, typically if you have a clue what you are doing to start with it helps. At the same time, I have never posted a question without some sort of positive response, perhaps, if you considered putting your demand for perfection aside, you could learn and contribute to the project, providing feedback and guidance to developers so they know what works better, that is the power of any project. Would I be correct in assuming your trying to run tomcat on windows platform? I would agree with you however on one thing, there are far too many strains of Tomcat out right now.... Stratify your projects...too hard to support too many. todd http://www.wiserlabz.com collaborative effort to promote Novell and Open Source solutions opinions expressed here are my own, and I have no official affiliation with Novell, Apache or any of their sub-projects. �rni Arent wrote: >Your software, Tomcat, is a nightmare to install.
