Feedback - Working with the Jakarta NT Service

[Bob Cullen <bc...@mail.com>]

Have just finished installing Tomcat on an NT box using the instructions

Working with the Jakarta NT Service

By Gal Shachor <shachor@il.ibm.com <ma...@il.ibm.com>>

These instructions where very useful. However I installed Tomcat in the
"Program Files" directory
structure and the following two lines in wrapper.properties

wrapper.java_home=c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2

wrapper.tomcat_home=c:\Program Files\tomcat

would not allow the service to start. I had to change the paths to the old
DOS eight character format i.e.

wrapper.java_home=c:\Progra~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2

wrapper.tomcat_home=c:\Program~1\tomcat

before the service would start.

Obviously putting it in its own C:\TOMCAT directory would not have caused
the problem.

It might be worth ading to the document. It would have saved me a hour
fiddling about  if it had been.

Now to learn how to program servlets.

Keep up the grat work you guys

Cheers
