I think it might have just been me testing it and restarting it a few times in a row. We do not have it set to automatically restart after failing, but I do have it set to Automatic startup when the server reboots.

Right, I see that now : Services..Tomcat..Properties.. then the 3rd tab (on my German XP Workstation, that's called "Wiederherstellen"). You can set it to restart automatically after the 1st, 2d, and further failures. It's still not the default setting for Tomcat however, so someone must have set it specifically to do that on Debbie's system. You have to use the real service console, not tomcat7w.exe, to change that setting. > >> It is unusual for server applications to put a logfile in the >> same directory as the "programs" (in this case, the InetSoft >> web application's java classes). > > Newer versions of Windows also require running as administrator (not just > administrator privileges) in order to write to C:\Program Files (or its > variants).

So Debbie might want to change that logfile's location, to avoid another mysterious failure the day that system gets upgraded or the application moved to a more recent server. And maybe pass this on to the InetSoft people, in case they didn't know yet. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
