AMD invented the x86-64 instruction set, and Intel copied it from them. However, there is an older Intel 64-bit architecture called IA64 (aka Itanium); you'll need to determine which 64-bit CPU(s) you actually have. > This is on Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 (SP2) -- Yes, this is > a 64-bit machine This is probably the AMD64 architecture, but you need to verify that it's not IA64. > Tried tomcat from both apache-tomcat-5.5.27.exe installer and from > straight ZIP Stay with the .zip; it's easier to start with. Uninstall the .exe version. > Java has no spaces in its path: C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_18 (from > jdk-1_5_0_18-windows-amd64.exe installer) You should have C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_18\bin in your PATH (not required, but it does make things easier). Does "java -version" (without the quotes) produce the expected results? Report back whatever it does show. BTW, I'd recommend a 1.6 JDK over 1.5; numerous performance improvements have been made. > Executing "tomcat5.exe" from the command line shows only a blank line, Don't use that until you get it working from the scripts. > 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 That looks good; what do you see in C:\Tomcat55\logs? > We've tried running it as a service (setting it up via 'service.bat') Get it working from the scripts first. If you have tcnative-1.dll in Tomcat's bin directory, delete or rename it, since that will be a 32-bit version. If you really need the better performance provided by APR, you can install the 64-bit .dll later. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
