Tomcat 6 not working on windows 7

Tomcat 开发者_如何学Python6 refuses to work in windows 7, it seems the problem is that it needs a 32bit jre, but i don't want to have a 64 and 32 bit installed. I want to get it to work with the 64bit jre and jdk. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution please let me know, thank you.

Unless I'm missing something, the Tomcat 6 download page includes a 64-bit Windows version. Is there some reason you can't use that?

I've found one page where the same problem is reported (tomcat 6 won't start as a service in a 64bit windows environment) and a solution is given. The page can be found here (it's in german language but google translate might make it readable).

In brief:

• Get tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe from here.
• overwrite the original files in your installation
• tomcat should now run.

(no guarantee, just translated something I found on the net)
