Hi Aurélien, > Arno, can you try with these parameters : --StdOutput out.txt --StdError > err.txt > and check if this writes anything to these files (I don't bet a pence on this > but let's try) ?
That isn't the point. My problem is, that I can't configure a different service user as the local system account with this utility. 'tomcat7.exe' configure all other parameter as you can see afterwards in the 'serverconsole' utility except the '--User' and '--Password' on Windows 8.1 64 bit with no error message. It only ignores these both values. The service is running in all cases under the local system account and I can manualy change to an other user and it still works. So, do you know, what is the normal process to report a bug to the development? I have to revert my statement from the mail before: It didn't work also with tomcat6 on Windows 8.1 64 Bit > Taken from the doc : > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html I know this document very well ;-) regards Arno
