Here are some of the details of the environment: Tomcat 5 OS: MS Windows Server 2003 SP 1 Ram: 960 JDK: jdk1.5.0_07 If i start it manually with the starttom.bat it works. If I go and try service install and then go to Administrative Tools and services and try to start the servic it will not work. I get the following error: Could not start Apache Tomcat Service on local computer >> Error 1053: The service did not respond to start or control request >> in a timely manner. Any help would be great.
