Hello, I am trying to get Tomcat 6.0.18 to run on my Win2k3 x64 edition server. I basically did the same thing talked about here: http://markmail.org/message/kptleixb6duxgwhm but it didn't work for me. I didn't use the service.bat install though. I installed the service manually with the sc.exe command.
I am using the 64-bit 1.6.0_06 JDK. I don't get any Windows errors, the service start process just times out. My catalina and jakarta logs don't have anything useful. The logs seem to indicate that Tomcat started up fine--only it didn't. When I start up Tomcat from the command line, it works fine. I did have to check the box in tomcat6w.exe to allow the service to interact with the desktop to run it from the command line though. That seemed a little weird. Anyone successful in running Tomcat 6 as a 64-bit service? Thanks, Brian
