Hello everyone We had an issue installing Tomcat as a service on windows after an upgrade to 9.0.62 : many parameters (startup class and method, jvm etc…) where missing.
We install tomcat as a service through a bat file which chains some commands to tomcat9.exe For example : tomcat9.exe //IS//BodetServiceTomcat --JavaHome "Path\to\jre" --Classpath="Path\to\apache-tomcat-9.0.62\bin\bootstrap.jar; Path\to\ \apache-tomcat-9.0.62\bin\tomcat-juli.jar" --Jvm " Path\to\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" --StartClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams start --StopParams stop tomcat9.exe //US//BodetServiceTomcat --Startup=auto --StartMode jvm --StopMode jvm --JvmMx=%BODET_JVM_MX% --JvmMs=%BODET_JVM_MS% tomcat9.exe //US//BodetServiceTomcat --LogPath="%BODET_CATALINA_HOME%\logs" tomcat9.exe //US//BodetServiceTomcat ++JvmOptions "-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=170m" etc… It turns out that Tomcat 9.0.61 comes with an upgrade of Commons Daemon (1.3.0) which has a bug regarding permissions for default log output : ttps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-441 As stated in comments’ issue, defining –LogPath in our first command (//IS ..) resolved the issue Nicolas Bourdais Ce message et toutes les pieces jointes (ci-apres le "message") sont etablis a l'intention exclusive de ses destinataires.
