Regarding running Tomcat from the startup.bat and shutdown.bat...
This *does* work, but only if JAVA_HOME is pointing to the parent directory of a JDK, not the parent to a JRE (this seems to contradict both the binary installer, and the Tomcat 5.x docs which state Tomcat no longer needs a JDK, just a JRE?) However, even with this correction to JAVA_HOME, the service.bat still fails in the same way -- "Failed installing 'Tomcat5' service" Steve -----"Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ----- To: "Tomcat Users List" <tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org> From: "Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2005-03-01 12:05PM Subject: RE: Installation problems on Windows > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Installation problems on Windows > > Tried the .ZIP installation again, and verified an accurate JAVA_HOME > pointing to the 1.4 JDK in this case. Running "service > install" resulted in a Failed to install service error. Sorry if you've already said this, but can you get Tomcat to run from a command prompt rather than as a service? If so, have you set the account for the service to one that has at least read access to the JDK as well as read/write access to the Tomcat installation? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
