Re: How to run Tomcat as Service on windows start up.
I just want to have one instance of tomcat up and running always
whenever I start my system exactly the way I have httpd service running
always.
ok now moving forward, I installed the tomcat 7.0.27 as service,made
changes to shutdown ports/APR ports etc and now its runing fine as a
service.I have now 2 tomcats sitting in same apache directory one is
7.0.11(this runs with netbeans) and another is 7.0.27(this runs as
windows service).
Now I want to deploy the my app war file to 7.0.27.But for some reasons
Manager App is not accepting my credentials.Here is what I did,
I copied the tomcat users file of 7.0.11 to 7.0.27 and after copying
restarted the service again,and tried to give the same credentials which
are working fine in 7.0.11,but to my surprise,those are not working in
7.0.27
here is tomcat users file,(Sorry for pasting some commented section in
below file,but its imp for me not to delete anything for which I dont
have much information or knowledge).Pls note that his tomcat users file
works perfect fine in 7.0.11 for user kiran/kiran
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='cp1252'?>

Relevant?!
Well, just imagine how much easier it would be if you read statements &
responses inline in chronological order, rather than having to
frantically scroll down and then up constantly to keep track of the
conversation.

Thanks Got it Chuck .Interesting stuff which I wasn't aware in spite of
using usenet/online forums for years now.
Not sure as how relevant this topic is now given that most of the time
even in our work environment,we often scroll down towards the bottom of
the mail to see as what exactly is the communication about and each
reply goes to the top of previous mail.
However I will ensure that I dont top post at least to this list.

Please don't top-post.
Have you actually read the list of roles & users you have?
Perhaps if you tidied it up & put them all in a sensible order, you see
some of the problems you're making for yourself.

Posted by Kiran Badi <ki...@poonam.org>.
No Luck Andre :-( , Removed one of the tomcat users tag,how do i
validate xml ?
I tried with below tomcat users file,
<tomcat-users>
<user name="admin" password="kiran" roles="admin-gui,manager-gui" />
<role rolename="AdminRole"/>
<role rolename="UserRole"/>
<user password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" username="both"/>
<user password="tomcat" roles="UserRole" username="role1"/>
<user password="tomcat" roles="AdminRole,manager-script,admin"
username="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="kiran" password="kiran" roles="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="probeuser" />
<role rolename="poweruser" />
<role rolename="poweruserplus" />
<role rolename="manager" />
<user username="admin" password="t0psecret" roles="manager" />
</tomcat-users>

If it does, then there is severe bug somewhere. As shown below, that file has 2 openin
<tomcat-users> tags, and only one closing </tomcat-users> tag. That is invalid xml.
Try again.
It is usually a better idea to make a copy of the original file as it was in the
distribution (adding some suffix like ".original"), and then make a "working" version,
removing all superfluous comments and leaving only what is really effective.
It also makes it a lot easier for people on the list to spot the errors, without having to
waft through kazillions of comment lines which may be badly-formatted in an email..
