Can you take a thread dump and see what's going on? Do JConsole or JVisualVM show anything interesting (e.g., a thread looping or stuck on a lock)? What happens if you configure the service to run under the same account you use when running Tomcat with the startup.bat script? (Use the tomcat6w.exe program to set the account.) > 4.

You have to uncomment the AccessLogValve near the bottom of conf/server.xml. However, I don't think this logs anything until a response is sent. > 2.

But there are a few more questions: 1) Is this a 32- or 64-bit version of Windows? 2) What JVM do have have installed? 3) When you run tomcat6w.exe, what does the Java tab show (all fields, please)? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
