Why do I get Out of Environment Space?

...

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.

How do I add or customize a Windows Service for Tomcat?

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"
