Hi Andre Thanks for your reply.
W3wp.exe is the process which manages the application pool where the redirector lives. I'm fairly confident the problem is due to the redirector because the crash only occurs when the redirector is used. Also, there is an open bug (45063) which appears to be a very similar issue. I do of course accept the problem could lie at Microsoft's door though. :) I guess I'm hoping someone has heard of this issue before, and knows of some sort of workaround which doesn't involve using the "Local System" account.

I am far from the specialist on the Windows/jk side of things, but I am still puzzled however. According to your explanation below, the application which crashes is something called "w3wp.exe". This does not really sound like an application which lives under Java and Tomcat. The jk redirector's function is to redirect (or rather "proxy") some HTTP requests from IIS to a back-end Tomcat, so that these requests are processed by a Tomcat-based application. Conversely, the response from this Tomcat-based application is then returned through the jk redirector, back to IIS, and from there to the client. What motivates my puzzlement is that, if w3wp.exe is really an application which lives under IIS and not Tomcat, then there does not seem to exist any reason why the jk redirector would have anything to do with it. My knowledge being limited, there might well be something I am missing in all of this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org No virus found in this incoming message.
