Re: AW: Problems to configure tomcat as windows service

[Aurélien Terrestris]

OK good that it's finally working.
There is a weakness in the documentation since it duplicates a big part of
the original procrun doc, and it would more readable to just give a short
explanation and give a link as you suggest. You can ask for an improvement
in the bug database ( http://tomcat.apache.org/bugreport.html) but I'm not
sure they will spend time on it as there is no "real" mistake in the doc.

thanks for that hint. I try it and it works now. :-)
I miss the point, that my start mode 'jvm' was excluded, but no alternative is 
described in the tomcat documentation.
Perhaps it will be a good idea to integrate a link to the original procrun 
documentation, when it is more up to date and complete. I didn't recognize til 
today, that this is a separate project.

Thanks for your patience,

That isn't the point. My problem is, that I can't configure a different service 
user as the local system account with this utility. 'tomcat7.exe' configure all 
other parameter as you can see afterwards in the 'serverconsole' utility except 
the '--User' and '--Password' on Windows 8.1 64 bit with no error message. It 
only ignores these both values.
The service is running in all cases under the local system account and I can 
manualy change to an other user and it still works.
So, do you know, what is the normal process to report a bug to the development?

I have to revert my statement from the mail before: It didn't work also with 
tomcat6 on Windows 8.1 64 Bit

Arno, can you try with these parameters : --StdOutput out.txt --StdError
err.txt and check if this writes anything to these files (I don't bet a
pence on this but let's try) ?

Arno,

still investigating for you in the documentation (
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html ), can you try
again with --ServiceUser & --ServicePassword instead of --User & --Password
?

Problems to configure tomcat as windows service

[Arno Schäfer]

Hi all,

using tomcat 7.0.54 on Windows 8.1 64 Bit system, I encounter the problem, that 
I can not configure a user/password
with the tomcat7.exe utility. I run this as a local administrator in a DOS box 
with a valid user and password it returned
with errorlevel 0, but the user was not set in the service settings.

What can be the reason for this? The same solution run before in a tomcat 6 
environment with no problems and I
recognize no changes in the documentation in this area.

best regard
Arno

but I asked this question, because I recognize, that it didn't worked like it 
is described, but in version 6 the description was the same and it has worked.

Maybe it is not only the version of Tomcat that has changed, but also the 
machine/OS on which

you do this ? Maybe the user under which you execute this command does not have 
the required

privileges, at OS level on this machine, to do this ?

Maybe the user-id *to* which you are trying to set the Tomcat service, does not have 
enough privileges to "run as a Service" ?
(In the services.msc applet, it would ask you interactively to grant these privileges 
first, but maybe the command-line tool cannot do that).


(I am not really a Windows OS specialist, but I have seen variations of the above kind of 
issues previously)

On the same machine/OS it work's with tomcat 6.

Like I said in my first mail, I install it as an local administrator and the 
service was registered and I am able to run it under the local system account.
And also if I fill in the user data manually, what I used in the tomcat7.exe 
call, I am able to start and run the tomcat server, so missing privileges 
shouldn't be the problem.

Hi.
What exactly /is/ the problem ?
- that you cannot change the user-id under which it runs (which by default should be 
something like LocalService) ?

- or that you can change it, but then it crashes when you run it ?

If the last, then one more question : does your Tomcat or any of its applications need 
access to any network shared directory ?

Hi Andre,

> What exactly /is/ the problem ?

'XXX' is not configured and doesn't exist. if I then call 
'tomcat7 //IS//XXX --User="domain\user" --Password="xx" 
the call return with exitcode 0 and if I look in the services.msc the service 
XXX is installed, but run as local system account. The --User and --Password 
was ignored. All other parameters was accepted. I have also double checked it 
with the serverconsole.bat.

Arno
