Hi,
I downloaded *apache-tomcat-7.0.52-windows-x64.zip* from the apache
website.
I am running windows 7 64 bit operating system.
I have setup the file setenv.bat file and apache starts without any
problem when started using startup.bat script.
To run apache as a windows service I did the following steps:
1. Extracted the zip to location C:\tmp 2. Opened command line in the
said folder and ran command :
tomcat7 //IS//
That just installs procrun (the service wrapper executable), but DOES
NOT configure it.
Procrun with an empty configuration does not know what Java application
it launches and with what settings. (It does not know that it belongs
to Tomcat, etc.)
There is service.bat that both installs and configures it, but note
that you either need to run the command prompt in as administrator
mode, or use 7.0.53 or later due to
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56143
3. Then ran command :
sc start tomcat7
Following was the output :
C:\tmp\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\bintomcat7.exe //IS//
C:\tmp\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\binsc start tomcat7
(...)
Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
You know, it still baffles me why folks still go this route on Windows when
there's a perfectly good installer package that will take care of all the
fiddly-bits for you. The only reason I can think of is they are trying to
install on the GUI-less version of the Server OS, for which the service.bat
file is a necessity.
