Looks like you have set JAVA_OPTS or CATALINA_OPTS to "server" - which is incorrect. When used, it should be "-server"; however, since you're on a 64-bit JVM, it's always in server mode, and the option is not needed. > start "Tomcat" "C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_18\bin\java" server -Xms768m -Xmx768m As stated before, you're missing the dash in front of "server" (but you don't need -server at all). > What would the "tomcat connector" be for, or what's the "native" > instance all about.

The Tomcat Connectors are for front-ending Tomcat with httpd or IIS; if you're running Tomcat standalone (which your are), you don't need them. The Tomcat Native is a subset of httpd known as the Apache Portable Runtime. It replaces the Java HTTP/HTTPS handler in Tomcat with one written in C; this will provide better SSL performance and may improve non-SSL performance in some situations. These extra pieces have 64-bit versions since they are written in C, and must therefore must match the mode the JVM process is running in - just as the tomcat5.exe and tomcat5w.exe executables must. Tomcat itself is pure Java, so is platform and architecture independent. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
