Hello; Thank you for coming back.... we all have those days.... look, I run tomcat on NT, but i'm not the right one to solve the problem, your right, this was very hard to get working... I did, but never quite right, so I just run as development, and not as a service, and have no problems. Actually I run it a little on this laptop as well, and it runs good... Let's break this problem apart first; in this order, and let everyone try to explain..
1. General Tomcat 3.2.4 on NT2000 or suggested Tomcat (best) for Win32.. 2. IIS and Tomcat 3. Tomcat as a Service..... Thanks again for coming back, this just show the quality of the people who come to this group and are willing to help. todd http://www.wiserlabz.com collaborative effort to promote Novell and Open Source solutions Árni Arent wrote: >Sorry for the flame :) > >Just got very frustrated.
