Re: [OT] Parallel Tomcat 5 and 6 services on Windows

2007-02-27 Thread Robert Novotny

The message was Failed to install Tomcat6 service. Ignore and continue
anyway (not recommended)? Tomcat 5 service has been stopped prior to the
installation. I wonder why the setup issues this message, since the tomcat6
service should be considered independent of tomcat5 service. Maybe there is
some name/description clash in the service installation routine (does
Windows allow to have more than one service with an identical DisplayName?).

Anyways, the services.bat is indeed the best workaround.

 I don't think the windows installer isn't set up to do this. I can't
 remember what the issue was but have a vague recollection of a bug
 report in this area. Using services.bat is the best work-around.

There might be a better explanation in the windows Event Viewer.

Good luck,

Parallel Tomcat 5 and 6 services on Windows

2007-02-26 Thread Robert Novotny

Greetings,
I would like to test Tomcat 6 on Windows, however I would still like to
retain the previous Tomcat 5 installation (along with the Tomcat 5 service).
I have downloaded the Tomcat 6.0.10 installer from the prerelease location.
However, the installation threw an error when it was about to install the
Tomcat 6 service (note that I have unchecked the Service option in the
component selection dialogue). Ignoring the error allowed me to finish the
installation.

Is there some kind of problem with the installation of the Tomcat 6 service
in the setup wizard? I have been able to resolve this problem by downloading
and extracting the ZIP version of Tomcat6, and installing the Tomcat 6
service by running 

  services.bat install tomcat6

(the CATALINA_HOME must have been temporarily set to the tomcat6
installation directory).

This process allowed me to have paralelly installed two services for both
Tomcats.

I would think you can do that.  You can even run them both at the same 
time, as long as they are configured to listen on different ports.



However, the installation threw an error when it was about to install the
Tomcat 6 service (note that I have unchecked the Service option in the
component selection dialogue).


What was the error?  Was it a port conflict?  If so, you know how to 
solve that one, right?  If it was a service name conflict, you should be 
able to solve that one too by renaming one of the services.


Did you at least stop the tomcat5 service before installing tomcat6?  As 
long as only one of them is running at once, it should work fine.  See
