The Tomcat download site has an executable file which is built with InstallShield. If you install Tomcat using that executable file, you should have an Uninstall Tomcat option on your Start|Programs menu. Or you can always go to the "Add/Remove Programs" to remove it.
Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose Euclides da Silva Junior - DATAPREVRJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 01:55 PM Subject: RES: Bugs and weakness when Tomcat works a NT Service (tcservcfg) I will tried it, but i am afraid of unknowed changes done by Tcservcfg on Windows register. Since Tomcat isnt running anyway, i will reinstall it to the same port. One question: Do you know how could i remove the remained Tomcat service?

You can reinstall Tomcat to a different port, with the NT Service checked. Or better yet, go ahead and install the Tomcat 4.1.2x to a different port. This is a great opportunity to upgrade. Put some of your apps there for test runs. If there is no issue, then move everything over to the new installation. After that, you can change the port number back. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose Euclides da Silva Junior - DATAPREVRJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 12:45 PM Subject: RES: Bugs and weakness when Tomcat works a NT Service (tcservcfg) Thank you, Chuck. I will do it! So, i should keep saved the existing server.xml and web.xml files before the new installation starts, i guess... Isnt it?

Start the installer and one of the screens has a list of products (Tomcat, Source etc) if you scroll down, there is and unchecked item that says to install it as a service. You must check this one to get it installed. If you are re-installing you also need to make sure it installs in the same directory to prevent other problems. Once the installer completes you can run it as a service or disable the service and use the startup.bat in the bin directory to start it from a command prompt. Sometimes this is desirable when debugging things that go wrong at startup.

Finally ended up re-installing and checking the little checkbox that makes it usable as a service. It is unchecked by default. Once it is installed, you can change the account it executes as in the services thingy in control panel.

So, i found the nightmare main actor --> tcservcfg and the second one --> windows!!! Thus, i made the following steps: 1 - ...runned the main actor ( tcservcfg ) - OK! 2 - started up the service - OK! 3 - test the environment - FAILURE! NOW, THE NIGHTMARE begins 4 - Only the static pages are availables, so whenever my app tries to use Result Sets, I get this error message: HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception java.lang.NullPointerException at BancoServlet.recuperaTopicoAssunto(BancoServlet.java:413) at BancoServlet.service(BancoServlet.java:249) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Applica tion FilterChain.java:247) LINE 413 points to a resultset statement, see below: ring query = "Select * FROM DICAS WHERE ID_TOPICO = " + topico2; pstmt = con.prepareStatement(query); rs = pstmt.executeQuery(); if ( !rs.next() ) { // --> THIS IS LINE 413 <-- fechaconection( pstmt,rs,con); chamadevolta = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/semconteudo.jsp"); chamadevolta.forward(request,response); } 5 - I ve tried to find something about permission but i didnt find anything. 6 - THE WORST: I stopped the service and tried to work as before --> starting TomCat by running startup.bat file. Unfortunatelly, TomCat doesnt starts up ANYMORE !!! 7- Then, i ve disabled all TomCat's services 8- Tried step 6 again - FAILURE AGAIN 9 - Finally, i ve removed the Registry key of TomCat service. 10 - Tried step 6 again - FAILURE AGAIN - it is a loop, isnt it... Really, any single help will be appreciated...
