Alan, I ran into a couple more relevant links: Here's on that actually pertains to Tomcat and Liferay, the setup I'm trying: http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/3095034 The claim is it's an artifact of compilation options. The page mentioned for the binaries is here: http://www.goldhahn.info/pmwiki.php/Software/TomcatBinaries I downloaded tomcat6_64bit.exe and tomcat6w_64bit.exe, copied them to the bin directory, renamed them to tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe, did the service install, and everything seems to run fine. I don't know whether you're also running 64-bit Windows, but I hope this helps anyways. -- Earl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/What-is-the-difference-between-running-Tomcat-6-as-a-Windows-Service--vs.-running-from-the-command-line--tp25960450p26207815.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
