Hello, we are using tomcat 6.18 with different webapps on a windows 2003 server. TomCat was running as a Windows Service for 1 Year now, without any problems. After the Installation of an new Software which is using Apache 2.2.11 http Server the TomCat Service won't start any longer.
When we start the TomCat Service. The TomCat Monitor switches to green and the service writes "started". But In the TomCat Log Directory only 3 log`s will be generated: Jakarta_service: [2009-10-28 14:04:07] [info] Starting service...

TomCat still won`t start as a service. I tried to reinstall the TomCat Server but it also doesn`t solve the problem. Can anyone tell me why the TomCat won't start as a service without any error message? Many, many thanks' for help. Best regards Marc
