Setup Tomcat as a Windows Service with more than one instance *|* -50838B79EF5937C185257917007AD6D7- *|*

Create two identical Tomcat instances in a clustered environment. This example is done with Tomcat 5.5 so it should work with 5.x versions but may not work for 4.x.

Steps to be followed for each instance:

1. Download and install Tomcat from the zip file not the Windows Installer.
2. Edit <TomcatHome>\bin\service.bat:
   1. Set SERVICE_NAME (Service Name)
   2. Set PR_DISPLAYNAME (Service Display Name)
   3. Comment the line set PR_JVM (server)
   4. update PR_JVM (with the path to client jvm.dll)
   5. Update JVM Parameters --JvmMs 128 --JvmMx 256 (you can skip this and set it in catalina.bat file).
3. Install Tomcat as service:
   1. cd <TomcatHome>\bin
   2. execute command: service install
4. To change the JVM classpath java options memory settings etc. manually:
   1. execute: tomcat5w //ES//<SERVICE_NAME>
5. To change the server port shutdown port and connector port edit <TomcatHome>\conf\server.xml:
   1. Change the shutdown port from 8005 to xxxx
      for example <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
      to <Server port="8105" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
   2. Change the port from 8080 to xxxx
      for example <Connector port="8080"...
      to <Connector port="8180"...
   3. Change AJP connector port from 8009 to xxxx
      for example <Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
      to <Connector port="8109" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
