Its unlikely that anybody made the same mistake I did, but incase you have a couple versions of tomcat (or have fudged the installation and have files you need to cleanup) make sure you are in the correct folder.

I was looking at the config file in C:\tomcat7\ but the actual Tomcat that was running was in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\
