Chris, Thanks for the quick reply. Am uninstalling it all and starting over. We have an extensive installation of ColdFusion 9 and Java running on JRun4 to provide line-of-business application isolation for security, etc.; it includes about 90 instances as well as nearly 80 web sites. As a result, I need to be able cluster multiple instances for session-replication and loading-balance; that allows me to stop/start instances for maintenance or troubleshooting without bringing business to a halt. And to complicate it all, we are running a multi-tiered (ColdFusion/Java 'distributed mode') configuration with remote web server clusters accessing the ColdFusion/JRun clusters. As you can see, I have a lot of details to deal with in the migration. :)
Will start over and see how it goes. And yes, I have read the RUNNING.txt and still have had problems; hence, the uninstall and start over.

Download Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org 2. Launch the installer Do you actually need multiple instances? The guide above has you duplicate the Tomcat installation in its entirety and that is not necessary at all: you can run multiple instances with a single "installation", but you do in fact need separate CATALINA_BASE directories. (The term CATALINA_BASE is derived from the environment variable that is consulted when locating instance-specific configuration for multi-instance environment. CATALINA_HOME points to the true Tomcat installation, where Tomcat's scripts, libraries, etc. can be found.) I would encourage you to look at the RUNNING.txt file that should have come with your distribution of Tomcat, particularly the "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" section. You should also read the "Apache Commons Daemon" section because that section describes (briefly, with documentation references) how Tomcat's Windows services work. Once you understand that, setting-up multiple instances as services should make a whole lot more sense, and you'll be able to do it without a guide of any kind. > Error logged with DEBUG level: > > [2013-09-18 15:26:51] [debug] ( prunsrv.c:1679) [ 48] Commons > Daemon procrun log initialized [2013-09-18 15:26:51] [info] ( > prunsrv.c:1683) [ 48] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.15.0 64-bit) > started [2013-09-18 15:26:51] [info] ( prunsrv.c:1596) [ 48] > Running 'MCAD_DEV1' Service...

What is in C:\Apache3? Is that a complete Tomcat installation, or is that more of a CATALINA_BASE which just has configuration files and your webapp(s)? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSOxp6AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY6/wP/0BAgDUjq6PpRC80EAHOMdDE NXV21DQT8z9cuWezaLrxPM08Nr7j6a3zNllrW4hwzGJy2MT5His10YxKOe8O4fnG 65SMKap/NT6/d1f0xPu5eCQxC/L3B4AGXxnaKjBKFjOaHZKQxaWtd2RyStL1OCz9 0gs9Ed0XBu+pGABZ7PQHUfQOzDp7e2ISBwkn3BGcXQUclCCOjzJaiKbVOouhW+q/ y1o8veV6/bojm8/bB9NIrk9X6KD066wY5U2zSTpogfIOPobQJB3wh0swpDipSSMN DXZ82IagvHAtrPAI3KDxFLl6R2inzYpy1uPY5ZSC5n7KaiFRKvNId+EjTnBaWxiU ICPaGYPFUMmNQWuqKJTBANi0IDeFReFJb4VA35pvzkAO5iQCNxDs68ZWcGGS6d7d DKWvZGfTgyJS2j4ix5ntv+DARoqz5gHSXsifx7E00l2LwimVcrq6iuf3EyxUV3Ho R1pzD2zIq5AezOc4XwUmX7xLaM2SD7oobLum+vSRGUeyFJvePmqhxkpV1DwwPIv1 nhmfTmBAYzKe+YYTNittsaIF22I0jp7JCR0uMALrTR69I6L05viYdyjrrdEV0Hf1 WzA+1C+Ddy+Qc2JArCML2LZ+0G5p2UyQsU2tUc1TEDXcfcgzoUycxDfP5U7BteJ3 fKd4TUTxZdxPAEoEMSWl =nMkl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
