I would also like to know how to get Tomcat running automatically. I'm a noob to this and wonder if this is normal behavior.

I installed xampp first and then now that I have to use tomcat and solr, I installed the JDK after the fact.

Double clicking catalina_start.bat does indeed start tomcat, but the command prompt stays open.

Here's my output:

Code: Select all

[XAMPP]: Searching JDK HOME with reg query ...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
    CurrentVersion    REG_SZ    1.7

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.7
    JavaHome    REG_SZ    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01
    MicroVersion    REG_SZ    0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.7.0_01
    JavaHome    REG_SZ    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01
    MicroVersion    REG_SZ    0


[XAMPP]: Seems fine!
[XAMPP]: Set JAVA_HOME : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01
[XAMPP]: Set CATALINA_HOME : C:\xampp\tomcat

Using CATALINA_BASE:   "C:\xampp\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_HOME:   "C:\xampp\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\xampp\tomcat\temp"
Using JRE_HOME:        "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01"
Using CLASSPATH:       "C:\xampp\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\xampp\tomcat\bin\to
mcat-juli.jar"

Using the newer Control Panel v3 ( currently 3.0.7 available here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=46743&start=45#p186862), you can select the "Config" button in the upper-right corner, and check the "Tomcat" check in the "Autostart" section to automatically start it when the Control Panel starts.

You can use the same "Config" window to uncheck the "Tomcat output window visible" check to make the console window not show up when it starts.

wow, good stuff. Thank you so much!
