Hi,
Installed Tomcat 5.5 and all worked fine with jdk 1.5.0_07. However need for
installer purposes to be able to setup Tomcat as a Windows service by running a
service.bat file. Have done the following:
1. Removed the original Tomcat service with 'tomcat5 //DS//Tomcat5'. The Tomcat
service was removed.
2. Run the following (from Tomcat's bin directory) in a Windows batch file and
Tomcat is installed as a Windows service:
set args=%args% --DisplayName="Tomcat 5.5"
set args=%args% --Install="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\bin\tomcat5.exe"
set args=%args% --Jvm=auto
set args=%args% --StartMode=jvm
set args=%args% --StopMode=jvm
set args=%args% --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
set args=%args% --StartParams=start
set args=%args% --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
set args=%args% --StopParams=stop
echo %args%
tomcat5 //IS//Tomcat55 %args%
3. When Tomcat is now started as a Windows service from either the Windows
Services window or by using 'net start tomcat55' the service will not start. No
Tomcat logs are produced in the Tomcat logs directory. The Windows event log
reports 'The Tomcat 5.5 service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0).'
Any suggestions or does anyone have a service.bat file that works? Need to also
enhance the above to specify when using an installer the jdk that Tomcat should
use with usage of the --JavaHome parameter in the service.bat file.
Thanks,
Joseph.
