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>$CATALINA_HOME/bin</code> folder. This assumes |
---|
65 | that GNU TAR is used, and that <code>CATALINA_HOME</code> is an |
---|
66 | environment variable pointing to the base path of the Tomcat |
---|
67 | installation.</p> |
---|
68 | |
---|
69 | <p>Please note that you should use the GNU make (gmake) instead of |
---|
70 | the native BSD make on FreeBSD systems.</p> |
---|
71 | |
---|
72 | <p>Download a commons-daemon binary from the Jakarta Commons download page, |
---|
73 | and place jsvc.tar.gz and commons-daemon.jar in the |
---|
74 | <code>$CATALINA_HOME/bin</code> folder.</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> |
