Thanks,, I got Tomcat working with 32-bit JVM.(with additional work as mentioned below) Installed 32-bit JVM, downloaded apache-tomcat-6.0.26-windows-x86.zip and extracted to "c:\apache\". I tried running the $CATALINA_HOME\bin\startup.bat. It started the console and i was able to access the index page on my localhost But when i tried to register Tomcat as Service by running "service.bat" it failed. Copying "msvcr71.dll" from $JRE_HOME\jre6\bin into $CATALINA_HOME\bin\ solved my problem. Now i can register Tomcat as a Service by clicking on "service.bat". Any idea on why i am in need of this dll here.. warm regards karthick _________________________________________________________________ The amazing world in sharp snaps http://news.in.msn.com/gallery/archive.aspx
