Question about Tomcat Windows service configuration
Hi,
I am stuck with an issue on Tomcat 6.x version.
I have two folder under /webapps/ folder called "appstore" and
'static-content". appstore has a UI which will write files to a folder in
"static-content" directory under webapps.
Everything works fine when i run tomcat as a standalone version but when i
run it as a windows services, the application called "appstore" is not able
to create any folders or files under "static-content".
I tried giving security manager options in the registry but still it doesnt
work. Pls help me out. Cant understand why it works for standalone or not
as a windows service.
Thanks and regards,
Naveen Alex

How far outside? On a local drive, or a network mounted one?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it doesnt work.
I have assigned an admin user to run the service and all the admin
permissions to the webapps folder. I have the tomcat folder outside of the
program files in windows.
Not sure why it doesnt work. Any other suggestions?
Thanks and regards,
Naveen Alex

1. Do you know that you can configure Service to use a user's account
when it runs? That can be done in the Windows Control Panel or in the
Tomcat Service configuration program (tomcat6w.exe).
If you not not configure it to use a user's account it will use a
special system account called LocalService and that might not have
necessary permissions.
2. UAC of Windows Vista and later can interfere with the above.
Especially if you have installed Tomcat to C:\Program Files. (IIRC it
is possible to circumvent it by assigning some permissions to the
installation folder, but the FAQ does not mention it)

What do you mean by "security manager"? Java security manager is quite
a different beast.
