  By default, the Tomcat Windows Service installer attempts to place Tomcat inside the "Program Files" folder.  Default Vista folder permissions conflict with the contents of the "webapps" folder, can case a blank page to come up when attempting to access the webapp.  By using a HTTP Header inspector like "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829 Live HTTP Headers]" you can see a slightly more descriptive error message.  It is best to change Tomcat's install folder to something like "C:\Tomcat".  This issue can be hard to spot because by default the example webapps work just fine.

+ Tomcat uses the Apache Commons Daemon.  You can read its documentation at http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html  As a short example, you can create a new Windows Service with the full version number in its name like this:
+ 
+ {{{bin\tomcat6.exe //IS//tomcat6018 --DisplayName "Apache Tomcat 6.0.18"}}}
+
