to hammer home what Jordan is saying: sh/cmd/bat files are usually based on environment variables e.g.
CATALINA_BASE to the exact location of the specific TOMCAT Instance you are running CATALINA_HOME to the exact location of the folder where TOMCAT was installed assuming you have set unique service_name for each service http://grokbase.com/t/tomcat/users/1351gyqtgb/multiple-tomcat-containers-or-instance-on-same-servers if memory serves there is a SC query TomcatServiceName which should display details for each TOMCAT service services.msc at run command provides the same info If CATALINA_BASE changes you will need to uninstall and reinstall to make sure the registry has a clean configuration for the TC instance I'll defer to Jordan, Dave and others to guide you thru that process.. > Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 10:39:13 -0800 > From: jor...@viviotech.net > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Re: Bin Folders > > Have you made changes that you want to keep?
