Hi, I just wanted to update the Tomcat5w.exe and tomcat5.exe on our Windows 2003 production system.
I was running Tomcat5.exe version 2.0.3 and had unpredictable but regularly every few days "unexpectedly died, it did this ... times" messages in the event-log without any trace in any other logfile. So I checked the Tomcat subversion http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/connectors/trunk/procrun/bin/amd64/ and downloaded the two exe-files. The version was counting up 2.0.4, so I decided to give it a try together with upgrading to JVM 1.5.0_17. Unfortunately, the tomcat5w.exe 2.0.4 reads its settings from another registry hive than the 2.0.3 version. The 2.0.3 version reads the registry for 64bit native binaries (Software/apache../procrun2.0/<servicename>), the 2.0.4 version reads the 32-bit emulation registry (path ...Software/WOW6432.../Apache.../procrun2.0/<servicename>). I have checked using Task-Manager and the running version of tomcat5w.exe is actually 64bit (2.0.3 as well as 2.0.4). So something must be wrong here - anyone else realized this strange behavior? I tried to find the sourcecode for the version 2.0.4, but it actually really seems to be hidden quite well. I checked the commons-daemon repository, but I could not match version numbers (procrun is version 1.0.1, no trace of 2.0.4 found). I checked some resource files in the 1.0.1 repository and found a version number definition of 2.1.0 ... argh - gave up. WELL, any help would be appreciated, especially on the root cause for my update-wish, the unexpectedly dying tomcat/procrun-service.
