How to: Tomcat 5.0.16 as Windows Service 2003-12-21 - By Merrill Cornish
Back
OK, I'm answering myself.
The first time I saw that page of jakarta.apache.org and tried it, it didn't
work. I tried again just now, and the command line command did seem to work
(although it looks like it's over the 256 byte limit). The result is a Tomcat
entry in the services list, set for automatic, but not started. When I use the
services display to start it, Windows claims that Tomcat starts and then
immediately stops.
There are no entries in the logs and on entries in the OS events viewer, so I
have no idea of what it didn't like. I can still start and stop Tomcat in
standalone mode. (I attempted the service install without any other form of
Tomcat running.)
With the service apparently installed, entering
tomcat //TS//Tomcat5
doesn't appear to fail, but it doesn't appear to do anything either. Entering
tomcat //DS//Tomcat5
does uninstall the service (as verified in the services display) as advertised.
Is there any way of determining what is preventing the Tomcat service from
running. (BTW, I did enter fully qualified pathnames in the //IS//Tomcat5
command line).
