I'm actually trying this with the tomcat binary. It's really tomcat I'm
trying to register as a service, for an IzPack installation of a portal
application. So, I didn't run into the compillation problems you ran
into. Maybe you should try it with the tomcat5.exe binary that comes
with tomcat.
Yep, I tried exactly that, but couldn�t get it running :-(
But still, I can't run the service as a different user. What could be
causing this?
Hmm, I know that there�s the "Monitor Tomcat" tray icon program that ships with tomcat since 5.0.x .... There�s a configure option to have tomcat running as a special user and not as SYSTEM. The user I had choosen for that belongs to the administrator�s group. I have already done this and it worked. ASFAIK the credentials put in there are just passed to procrun. So it should work that way.
I used JDK 1.4_02 -> 1.5.x on Windows XP Professional with tomcat 5.0.28, 5.5.4 or 5.5.7 - don�t remember exactly.
Do you see some tomcat-related entries in the system�s event log?
Maybe you�re encountering the same or a similar problem that I was running into!?!
kind regards Rolf
Rolf,
I Tried creating a user (dp), set a password (dp) and give that user admin rights, but still: if i run "tomcat5.exe //US//DocPortal --User dp --Password dp", nothing happens and the service's properties don't change.
Other than that, it just works as expected. Please note that Tomcat itself does not provied a "run-as-user" during it's installation (at least: i couldn't find it).
Regards,
Mark Kikken
