Subject: Re: Tomcat 7 service not starting
what caused it to try to start again repeatedly by itself ?
Pretty much any Windows service can be configured to automatically restart when
it terminates.
Right, I see that now : Services..Tomcat..Properties.. then the 3rd tab (on my German XP
Workstation, that's called "Wiederherstellen"). You can set it to restart automatically
after the 1st, 2d, and further failures.
It's still not the default setting for Tomcat however, so someone must have set it
specifically to do that on Debbie's system.
You have to use the real service console, not tomcat7w.exe, to change that
setting.
It is unusual for server applications to put a logfile in the
same directory as the "programs" (in this case, the InetSoft
web application's java classes).
Newer versions of Windows also require running as administrator (not just
administrator privileges) in order to write to C:\Program Files (or its
variants). This can be problematic for apps that try to keep everything in
their installation directory.
Good to know also.
So Debbie might want to change that logfile's location, to avoid another mysterious
failure the day that system gets upgraded or the application moved to a more recent server.
And maybe pass this on to the InetSoft people, in case they didn't know yet.
