I have a difficult but severe problem with the tomcat service launcher on windows server 2003.
Our application installs itself, tomcat, and a jvm, and then runs a bat file which registers the tomcat server, using our provided jvm. I _know_ this code works fine almost everywhere - it has been in use for years, on dozens of systems. However, we have a new customer, a 1/2 a world away, who has installed our application on a Windows Server 2003 box with 4 GB of ram that is using a Spanish Locale. The server is brand new - so its an almost perfectly clean install on windows. After we register the tomcat service - the service refuses to start tomcat. There are no useful error messages - just something along the lines of the service failed to start. I'm not sure exactly, because it's in Spanish. It looks rather similar to this bug: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41538 which if you ask me, has been closed completely prematurely by someone who didn't understand the real problem. When I run the tomcat5w.exe command - all of the parameters are set correctly. I cannot find any reason why this service refuses to start on this particular configuration, yet - it won't run. And it also happens on another one of their machines (which is identical). I also cannot reproduce the problem locally on my test systems - so I still haven't been able to pinpoint what is different about their configuration that is triggering this. Suggestions? I have very limited ability to do debugging on the system that is showing the problem.
