I have installed Tomcat 7.0.6 via the zip on one of my Windows 2003 R2 machine and ran the service.bat file. The service installs and will start with no problems. However when I try to stop the service I have issues. If I try via the Service Control Manager, the status bar goes half way then stops. If I wait it returns with a failure that the service did not send a stop signal. I can hit the "Close" button and Tomcat is not running anymore. But this prevents me from running the "Restart" option.
I also tried this via command line by running: net stop Tomcat7 System error 109 has occurred. The pipe has been ended. I also have this same problem with Tomcat 7.0.5 on a different Windows 2003 system. There are no messages in the EventViewer or the logs. Ideas? Tom
