[Building Sakai] Ask Sakai: Sakai 2.6 will not run as windows service

[Matthew Jones]

I can say for certain that sakai 2.6 does run under with tomcat under
a windows service as that's how I'm running it on the QA-6. It's
Windows Server 2008 32-bit. There are different issues that come up
under a 64 bit install though.

I'm guessing you were going by the directions on:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Section+-+Tomcat+Installation+(2.6)

Will at serensoft also had some good advice a few months ago which he
faq'd on that I remember talking to him about:
http://collab.sakaiproject.org/pipermail/sakai-dev/2009-May/001473.html
http://faq.serensoft.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=21&id=66

Once you get it running, I remembered using the instructions provided
by Atlassian for setting up JIRA to hook up with IIS to set up Sakai.
They were basically the same.
