Re: [TC4-RC1/NT] Running as an NT service: Tomcat looks for server.xml in wrong place - FIXED!
I've fixed the problem myself. I had to modify (only slightly) the scripts
supplied with JavaService 1.2.0, by specifying the "current" directory from
which to launch Tomcat 4.0. See the modified version below (sorry for any
line breaks...).

echo Usage: %0 jdk_home tomcat_home (classic/hotspot/server)
echo NOTE: You MAY NOT use spaces in the path names. If you know how

It's not a patch for Tomcat, it's an update for an example script for a
third-party tool (a very good one, not just for tomcat).
I don't think there are any portability issues really, as it's not concerned
with web applications directly, it's more to do with how the servlet engine
is launched, and that's engine-specific anyway. When I mentioned "current
working directory", it's the directory from within which tomcat is started
by the service wrapper. I'm assuming that the service wrapper launches from
c:\winnt, and tomcat inherited this as the base directory ; unsurprising
that it couldn't find its conf directory !
Thanks for your comments all the same!

Although there is nothing wrong in principle with doing this, I
***strongly*** urge you to write your applications in a manner that does
not depend on it. Otherwise, you are locked in to Tomcat forever, because
there is no guarantee you will be able to control the current working
directory of any other server.
Also, patches should be posted to the TOMCAT-DEV list to make sure that
they get noticed.
