We're having a heck of a time getting tomcat running on windows server 2003 enterprise x64 -- it barely gets started, and instantly quits. We installed java from jdk-1_5_0_18-windows-amd64.exe which seems to be the only 64-bit version available? Our processor is intel, tho... Is there an intel-not-amd version we missed?
All we get is "error 0x0"...? This is on Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 (SP2) -- Yes, this is a 64-bit machine Tried tomcat from both apache-tomcat-5.5.27.exe installer and from straight ZIP Java is 1.5.0_18 Java has no spaces in its path: C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_18 (from jdk-1_5_0_18-windows-amd64.exe installer) No port conflicts (we're asking for port 80 instead of 8080) according to netstat -an yes, we're listening on port 80 instead of 8080 (via server.xml); Tomcat has no spaces in its path: C:\Tomcat55 Executing "tomcat5.exe" from the command line shows only a blank line, then the command prompt pops up again (no text-to-console logged). Executing "startup.bat" shows Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Tomcat55 Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Tomcat55 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Tomcat55\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_18 We've tried running it as a service (setting it up via 'service.bat'), too: The start>admin>componentServices>event viewer shows only: """ The Apache Tomcat service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0).

We did find a thread online that recommended "copy the file msvcr71.dll from the bin dir of your java installation, to the bin dir of the tomcat installation." Of course, we don't have a msvcr71 (tho we did find a msvcrt.dll which didn't do the trick.)
