 | 16 |       Installing Tomcat on Windows can be done easily using the Windows  | 
|---|
 | 17 |       installer. Its interface and functionality is similar to other wizard | 
|---|
 | 18 |       based installers, with only a few items of interest. | 
|---|
 | 19 |     </p> | 
|---|
 | 20 |  | 
|---|
 | 21 |     <p> | 
|---|
 | 22 |       <ul> | 
|---|
 | 23 |         <li><strong>Installation as a service</strong>: Tomcat will be  | 
|---|
 | 24 |             installed as a Windows | 
|---|
 | 25 |             NT/2k/XP service no matter what setting is selected. Using the | 
|---|
 | 26 |             checkbox on the component page sets the service as "auto" | 
|---|
 | 27 |             startup, so that Tomcat is automatically started when Windows | 
|---|
 | 28 |             starts. For optimal security, the service should be run as a | 
|---|
 | 29 |             separate user, with reduced permissions (see the Windows Services | 
|---|
 | 30 |             administration tool and its documentation).</li> | 
|---|
 | 31 |         <li><strong>Java location</strong>: The installer will use the registry | 
|---|
 | 32 |             or the JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine the base path | 
|---|
 | 33 |             of a J2SE 5 JRE. | 
|---|
 | 34 |             </li> | 
|---|
 | 35 |         <li><strong>Tray icon</strong>: When Tomcat is run as a service, there | 
|---|
 | 36 |             will not be any tray icon present when Tomcat is running. Note that | 
|---|
 | 37 |             when choosing to run Tomcat at the end of installation, the tray | 
|---|
 | 38 |             icon will be used even if Tomcat was installed as a service.</li> | 
|---|
 | 39 |         <li>Refer to the | 
|---|
 | 40 |             <a href="windows-service-howto.html">Windows Service HOW-TO</a> | 
|---|
 | 41 |             for information on how to manage Tomcat as Windows NT service. | 
|---|
 | 42 |             </li>             | 
|---|
 | 43 |       </ul> | 
|---|
 | 44 |     </p> | 
|---|
 | 45 |  | 
|---|
 | 46 |     <p>The installer will create shortcuts allowing starting and configuring  | 
|---|
 | 47 |        Tomcat. It is important to note that the Tomcat administration web  | 
|---|
 | 48 |        application can only be used when Tomcat is running.</p> |

 | 52 |     <p>Tomcat can be run as a daemon using the jsvc tool from the  | 
|---|
 | 53 |        commons-daemon project. Source tarballs for jsvc are included with the | 
|---|
 | 54 |        Tomcat binaries, and need to be compiled. Building jsvc requires | 
|---|
 | 55 |        a C ANSI compiler (such as GCC), GNU Autoconf, and a JDK.</p> | 
|---|
 | 56 |  | 
|---|
 | 57 |     <p>Before running the script, the <code>JAVA_HOME</code> environment | 
|---|
 | 58 |        variable should be set to the base path of the JDK. Alternately, when | 
|---|
 | 59 |        calling the <code>./configure</code> script, the path of the JDK may | 
|---|
 | 60 |        be specified using the <code>--with-java</code> parameter, such as | 
|---|
 | 61 |        <code>./configure --with-java=/usr/java</code>.</p> | 
|---|
 | 62 |  | 
|---|
 | 63 |     <p>Using the following commands should result in a compiled jsvc binary, | 
|---|
 | 64 |        located in the <code>$CATALINA_HOME/bin</code> folder. This assumes | 
|---|
 | 65 |        that GNU TAR is used, and that <code>CATALINA_HOME</code> is an  | 
|---|
 | 66 |        environment variable pointing to the base path of the Tomcat  | 
|---|
 | 67 |        installation.</p> |

 | 68 |    |

 | 70 |        the native BSD make on FreeBSD systems.</p> |

 | 96 |     <p>jsvc has other useful parameters, such as <code>-user</code> which  | 
|---|
 | 97 |        causes it to switch to another user after the daemon initialization is | 
|---|
 | 98 |        complete. This allows, for example, running Tomcat as a non privileged | 
|---|
 | 99 |        user while still being able to use privileged ports.  | 
|---|
 | 100 |        <code>jsvc --help</code> will return the full jsvc usage  | 
|---|
 | 101 |        information. In particular, the <code>-debug</code> option is useful | 
|---|
 | 102 |        to debug issues running jsvc.</p> | 
|---|
 | 103 |  | 
|---|
 | 104 |     <p>The file <code>$CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc/native/tomcat.sh</code> can be  | 
|---|
 | 105 |        used as a template for starting Tomcat automatically at boot time from  | 
|---|
 | 106 |        <code>/etc/init.d</code>.  The file is currently setup for running  | 
|---|
 | 107 |        Tomcat 4.1.x, so it is necessary to edit it and change the classname  | 
|---|
 | 108 |        from <code>BootstrapService</code> to <code>Bootstrap</code>.</p> | 
|---|
 | 109 |  | 
|---|
 | 110 |     <p>Note that the Commons-Daemon JAR file must be on your runtime classpath  | 
|---|
 | 111 |        to run Tomcat in this manner.  The Commons-Daemon JAR file is in the Class-Path  | 
|---|
 | 112 |        entry of the bootstrap.jar manifest, but if you get a ClassNotFoundException  | 
|---|
 | 113 |        or a NoClassDefFoundError for a Commons-Daemon class, add the Commons-Daemon  | 
|---|
 | 114 |        JAR to the -cp argument when launching jsvc.</p>  |
