Dan, You probably have an error showing up in the Tomcat logs that can direct you to the problem. They should be in the Apache Tomcat install directory in the "logs" folder. Open up the logs that have "stderr" and "stdout" in their names. You may need to turn on the logging to a more detailed level, but by default any errors should show up.
Also, the Mid Tier does install Tomcat for you, so it may be easier for you to wipe out your Tomcat install and just let the Mid Tier installer do it. I've performed the install that way with no problems, and I've also installed it the way you have and manually deployed the WAR file with no problem. However, it's likely that you need to make some changes to Tomcat to make it more secure and run more efficiently even after you fix the issue you are running into.

I installed the Tomcat first and tested it with http://localhost:8080 and it worked fine, also was able to get into the admin tools for Tomcat with no problems. I then installed the Mid-tier pointing it towards the install directory for the Tomcat when it asked. It installed good with no error but when I try to access the Mid-Tier config page it does not work. The Tomcat service is no long running and when I try to start it it starts and stops immediately saying - the Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7 service started and stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services and programs. I am not real familiar with Tomcat or IIS configuration so I wanted to make sure I have not missed something. Has anyone had this issue or know what can be done to keep the service started. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" Private and confidential as detailed here: http://www.sug.com/disclaimers/default.htm#Mail .
