Ok - So I did: * uninstall Tomcat * only one jvm present on the system (64 bit) * setting CATALINA_HOME, JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME:
CATALINA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\APACHE~1\TOMCAT~1.0 JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java JRE_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jre7 * restarting server * reinstalling Tomcat7 (using the service installer, not the service.bat file, that I can't locate anyway) * checking "Java Virtual Machine" in Java tab in Tomcat7w.exe: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\server\jvm.dll" * checking PATH: "Path=C:\PARALL~1\Plesk\ADDITI~1\Perl\bin\;C:\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\Python\;C:\Parallels\Plesk\Mail Servers\Mail Enable\BIN;C:\PARALL~1\Plesk\ADDITI~1\Perl\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server5.5\bin;C:\Program Files(x86)\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\" But - Problem persists. Is there some registry key I could check related to the installation process? \Rune Den 27/02/2013 kl. 12.57 skrev Giles <computer.support.cen...@googlemail.com>: > On 27 February 2013 11:52, André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> wrote: >> computer repair centre wrote: >>> >>> On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 10:18 AM, Rune Stilling <s...@rdfined.dk> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi again >>>> >>>> Thanks for your answers.
