Hi there, Thanks a lot for this meaningful info. I too have a similar requirement: running the Tomcat on 64 bit OS <Windows server 2003 / 64 bit Xeon 1.6GHz, 8G RAM>
I followed the commands below <given in your thread>. I installed the 64 bit JRE from Sun, Installed 32 bit tomcat. Edited all the necessary values in the registry for the node "Wow6432Node" I copied the 64bit compiled exe from bugzilla <link given by you>. However i'm now getting a strange error when i try to run the exe from the command line or try to run the tomcat from the services.msc. <Snapshot> C:\Tomcat55\bin>tomcat5.exe [2007-10-16 17:39:16] [402 prunsrv.c] [error] The system cannot find the file specified. [2007-10-16 17:39:16] [1246 prunsrv.c] [error] Load configuration failed C:\Tomcat55\bin>prunsrv.exe [2007-10-16 17:41:40] [402 prunsrv.c] [error] The system cannot find the file specified. [2007-10-16 17:41:40] [1246 prunsrv.c] [error] Load configuration failed C:\Tomcat55\bin>tomcat5.exe.64bit [2007-10-16 17:41:51] [402 prunsrv.c] [error] The system cannot find the file specified. [2007-10-16 17:41:51] [1246 prunsrv.c] [error] Load configuration failed However the tomcat5w.exe <original> runs fine and the service window opens up. I tried running the server from there, but no luck there/ I confirmed all the entries once again in the registry. Have you encountered similar problem? Please suggest input. I'm stuck now..... Thanks in advance.
