(tomcat.exe does not exist). > Any help would be greatly appreciated. You didn't follow the instructions for --JvmOptions: http://tomcat.eu.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html You want: - --JvmOptions -Xms=512#-Xmx=1024 After you do either of your commands, what do you see if you do: C:\> tomcat7w.exe //ES//tomcat7 That should show you the current configuration (and let you edit everything if you want). Remember that you are only editing the service definition: you will have to launch Tomcat via the service if you want that configuration to take effect. Also, if Tomcat is running when you change the configuration, you'll have to restart the service to notice any change. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBSUhAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBzPgCePlVSr8zUutRBQleANxuTXNBw WFQAoK+cTorm2zEbfAdgnfgMzNz6ouWi =XEix -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
