Which is the cause of the current problem. It should be this: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin\bootstrap.jar I would recommend installing Tomcat (and the JVM) in directory paths without spaces; Microsoft made a real blunder when putting spaces in frequently used directory names, and Apache isn't helping. > The Logon tab shows the Local System account selected Make sure the Local System account has access rights to all necessary files; it normally does, but... > [2008-03-11 14:32:37] [385 javajni.c] [debug] Jvm Option[1] -Xms256m > [2008-03-11 14:32:37] [385 javajni.c] [debug] Jvm Option[2] -Xmx512m Set -Xms and -Xmx to the same value; doing otherwise can make the heap act like a yoyo. > [2008-03-11 14:32:37] [385 javajni.c] [debug] Jvm Option[4] > -Djava.class.path= There's the bad one. > Should I be setting my classpath to include Bootstrap.jar, Yes, but not the CLASSPATH variable. > or have C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin > in my PATH? No, the PATH is irrelevant for services (as is CLASSPATH). > CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12\lib\ext\QTJava.zip <soapbox> The CLASSPATH environment variable is an abomination, and should have been gotten rid of long ago. It's incredibly annoying that QuickTime installation keeps trying to use it when there is a well documented means of providing JRE extensions, and Apple should be using that. I'd strongly suggest deleting the variable from your environment; it will mess you up, sooner or later. </soapbox> - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
