Sorry Matthias, I was looking for a little more infor than that even.. like what the error message actually was for example. ;-).
In the meantime (and hopefully you've already resolved this as I appreciate it's been a day or two since I last logged in) you could try running tomcat from the command line and see what it tells you. Open a dos prompt up, navigate to your TOMCAT_HOME/bin directory (or CATALINA_HOME in the case of Tomcat 4+) and enter startup.bat at the prompt. See what sort of error messages it produces and that may clarify what's happening. If not could you please list the process you've been through to date. That should include the following info: Your OS Your Tomcat version Running as service or from command line Install location Java location (JAVA_HOME) Whether the setup was running before and if so what was changed and when. When the Tomcat started failing what sort of errors were created in the logs I know this thread started with you asking whether TC needed to be rebooted each time you changed a Servlet or configuration. This shouldn't be the case but it made me wonder whether we are perhaps discussing a production system?
