Ok, so I redownloaded both Tomcat 5 and Tomcat 6. Tomcat 5 was working before, even though I had installed it from the service installer (and never using it as a service). After reinstalling it from the zip, it is still working just fine. When I tried to run "tomcat6.exe" from the Tomcat6 zip file, it failed exactly the same way the service installer did:
[2008-01-27 19:51:03] [420 prunsrv.c] [error] The system cannot find the file specified. [2008-01-27 19:51:03] [1327 prunsrv.c] [error] Load configuration failed There are NO log files in the "logs" directory. When I try to run "startup.bat", it also appears to fail pretty quickly, but doing this makes it clear it's trying to use my JDK 1.4.2 JAVA_HOME, so perhaps that's why "tomcat6.exe" failed. So, how do I configure Tomcat 6 (and Tomcat 5, I guess) to use an alternative JVM besides JAVA_HOME? > -----Original Message----- > From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 5:29 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Problems installing Tomcat 6 along existing > Tomcat 5, and JAVA_HOME points to 1.4.2 > > > From: Karr, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Problems installing Tomcat 6 along existing Tomcat 5, and > > JAVA_HOME points to 1.4.2 > > > > This is ironic, as I have no intention of using the Windows > service, I > > just used the installed because it's more convenient than the zip > > file. > > ???
