Has anyone had issues trying to start Apache Tomcat under Windows 7 Professional after installing Dev Studio with the Apache server?

I've installed Dev Studio 7.6.11 with the reporting server and Apache Tomcat server on Windows 7 and can't get the Apache Tomcat server to start. After installation, the Apache Tomcat service failed to start automatically with Dev Studio.

This is the message I get when attempting to start the Apache Tomcat server manually from the Windows services tool (services.msc):

"The Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."

I've tried different settings for the service startup like manual startup, and different login IDs to no avail. The ID I'm running with has full admin rights.

Any info or ideas on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

32 or 64 bit? everything needs to be the same including the java SDK version.

Sorry, should've added that this was the 32 bit version of Windows 7 Professional.

I actually found the solution in the Microsoft Management Services Console help though. Here's what I did that allowed the service to start properly:

1. Started the services console (services.msc) from the Start Search box.

2. Right-clicked on the Apache Tomcat service and selected Properties.

3. Clicked the Logon Tab.

4. Checked the Local System Account radio button.

5. Entered: NT AUTHORITY\LocalService into the This Account textbox.

6. Entered the password for the local account.

7. Saved and successfully started the Apache Tomcat service manually.

Dev Studio didn't start Apache Tomcat automatically, even though the service is set to Automatic. I think that might be a Dev Studio setting if I remember correctly.
