Error Message

Getting error messages when trying to install Confluence as a service.

[2007-11-02 15:21:37] [402 prunsrv.c] [error]
The operation completed successfully.
[2007-11-02 15:21:37] [1246 prunsrv.c] [error]
Load configuration failed

Symptom

Diagnostics/Test

Root Cause

While Tomcat will run happily on a 64-bit edition of Windows by running it directly through a 64-bit build of Java, the native Windows "Service" support which is bundled with Tomcat 5.5.x is presently 32-bit only.

Solution

There is a workaround (a patch available) on this issue.

Replace tomcat5.exe from this link.
