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

[Matthew Jones]

Could you put your whole log up onto cl1p.net, pastie.org or attach
it? I don't know what else to suggest without that since you had luck
with prior versions. Nothing has changed that should have caused you a
problem.

For 2.6 would have to deploy to a different (or cleaned) directory and
make sure that it's not looking in the old classpath for older
versions of jars. It's possible that the service is still pulling some
pieces out of a different directory or theres some missing jars? Can't
tell from the log snippet.
