Can't get Tomcat to start as a service in Windows 2000

["Bradley M. Handy" <br...@williamstonfmc.org>]

I posted this message once, but I sent it from the wrong address.  Sorry if 
it gets posted twice.



I need to have Tomcat set a property on startup, so I went to reconfigure 
the service and I get the following exception:

org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: 
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.newFactory(LogFactory.java:558)

I'm using the following configuration when I run "tomcat.exe":

tomcat.exe
-install "Apache Tomcat 4.1"
"C:\Java\J2SE\v1.4.1_03\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
-Djava.class.path=D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24\bin\bootstrap.jar
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24\bin;D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24\common\lib
-Dcatalina.home=D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24
-Djava.naming.ldap.version=3
-start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params -config 
conf/server.xml -debug start
-stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop
-out D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24\logs\stdout.log
-err D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24\logs\stderr.log
-current D:\Servers\Tomcat\v4.1.24\

Does anyone see anything wrong with the way I'm configuring the service?
