Hi Bill, Couple suggestions and a question... First, the service.bat script should really be setting -Djava.io.tmpdir, just as the catalina.bat script does. Additionally, unless you provide %JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar to the --ImagePath, JSP compilation will fail, although you might be fooled

Hi Bill, One quick follow-up to add to my previous comments... When I used to use the old JavaService tomcat.exe (in Tomcat-4.x.xx), each time I started Tomcat, the stdout.log would be wiped clean upon startup. With procrun, stdout never gets cleaned up. I would actually prefer this

Hi - I've looked through the docs, and it says the following: Tomcat will be installed as a Windows NT/2k/XP service no matter what setting is selected. However, I never ran an installation program - I just unzipped a file. What do I run to install Tomcat 5 as a service? I don't see

Betty, As nearly as I can tell, Tomcat 4 was distributed for Windows as a .exe file which included an installer. That installer which could do the service install. However, Tomcat 5 is distributed (so far, at least) as a .zip file, which has no installer. I can run Tomcat 5 standalone, as

Hi -- Thanks for the reply. So, now I downloaded Tomcat 4, but I don't see an install program. I downloaded the .zip file. Was I supposed to download an .exe file instead? Thanks Betty -Original Message- From: Merrill Cornish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004

The instructions to do it manually are at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/procrun.html. There is also a new 'service.bat' file in the CVS http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/bin/service.bat, that simplifies the process of manually installing Tomcat as a
