Hi, Thank you for the debugging tip.
Running service.bat worked: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin>service.bat install Installing the service 'Tomcat5' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12 Using JVM: auto The service 'Tomcat5' has been installed. I can start and stop the service from the windows control panel and I can hit the default tomcat page on http://localhost:8080/ Does this suggest a cause to my earlier problems? (I'll try the GUI next.)

(I realize that doesn't fit your delivery requirements, but I suggest this just to see if you can get the service working at all.) You should probably go through a deinstall and reinstall of the .zip just to clean things up, then run the service.bat script to set up the service. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
