Installer le service tomcat sous vista

**Mister Nono** · 21/03/2009, 08h23

Bonjour,

Je dois installer tomcat sous vista et au cours de l'installation j'obtiens l'erreur suivante :

Failed to install Tomcat service
Check your settings and permissions

Cela arrive avec tomcat 5.5 ou 6, avec le fichier d'installation exe ou avec le zip de tomcat.

Bien sûr, l'installation se fait en mode administrateur.

Comment faire cette installation ?

Merci.

D'après la documentation de Tomcat, il n'est pas prévu de créer un service sous Vista

Installing Tomcat on Windows can be done easily using the Windows installer. Its interface and functionality is similar to other wizard based installers, with only a few items of interest.

Installation as a service: Tomcat will be installed as a Windows NT/2k/XP service no matter what setting is selected. Using the checkbox on the component page sets the service as "auto" startup, so that Tomcat is automatically started when Windows starts. For optimal security, the service should be run as a separate user, with reduced permissions (see the Windows Services administration tool and its documentation).
Java location: The installer will use the registry or the JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine the base path of a J2SE 5 JRE.
Tray icon: When Tomcat is run as a service, there will not be any tray icon present when Tomcat is running. Note that when choosing to run Tomcat at the end of installation, the tray icon will be used even if Tomcat was installed as a service.
Refer to the Windows Service HOW-TO for information on how to manage Tomcat as Windows NT service.
