Summary of some points to note when registering Tomcat as a service

Here are some points to note when registering Tomcat as a service. The details are as follows:

After opening the interface, look at the environment variables below. If you don’t understand, it is recommended to learn what environment variables are. .

First of all, as shown in the figure above, these four environment variables must be present:
JAVA_HOME: points to the root directory of jdk
JRE_HOME: points to the jre folder under the jdk directory
CLASSPATH: points to the lib folder under the jdk directory
CATALINA_HOME: points to the root directory of tomcat

There are many places in the service.bat file that require these four environment variables. Missing any one of them will cause problems. Registration may not necessarily fail, but there will be some problems during operation.
I just wanted to save trouble and pointed to CATALINA_HOME and loaded PATH directly, which caused tomcat registration to fail. . . .

You can test it by dragging the service.bat file in the bin folder in your tomcat root directory into cmd and pressing Enter

The command appears, enter the command (the name is self-defined):

service.bat install Tomcat9 

One thing to note is, don’t assume that the sentence at the bottom, “The service '……' has been installed,” is correct. It's good enough if it appears, but the path in the framed area in the picture above must exist, otherwise there will be problems. This is what I suffered.

If the above path does not exist, uninstall Tomcat, reconfigure the environment variables, and then install it again. . .
