I'm actually not a system administrator, I'm just a developer) So I faced the following problem on my test server: I have Windows Server 2003. There is a default Tomcat 5.5 instance running as a Windows service(I've just download the .exe installer for Windows).
I need to launch a couple more Tomcat's instances (different installation dirs). Now my workaround is: One Windows service and manually launched from "cmd" different instances of tomcat with different ports. But I need them as a services with different restricted users` rights, different log and directories, etc.
Please don`t ask why do I need such configuration)) I need to install as many as it possible windows services of tomcat 5.5. Each tomcat instance must think that it is the only one service. Sorry for my English. Thanks in advance.
