| Each instance folder will need the following structure: | |
| </p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>conf</li> | |
| <li>logs</li> | |
| <li>temp</li> | |
| <li>webapps</li> | |
| <li>work</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p> | |
| At a minimum, conf should contain a copy of the following files from | |
| CATALINA_HOME\conf\. Any files not copied and edited, will be picked up by | |
| default from CATALINA_HOME\conf, i.e. CATALINA_BASE\conf files override defaults | |
| from CATALINA_HOME\conf.</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>server.xml</li> | |
| <li>web.xml</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p> | |
| You must edit CATALINA_BASE\conf\server.xml to specify a unique IP/port for the | |
| instance to listen on. Find the line that contains | |
| <code><Connector port="8080" ...</code> and add an address attribute and/or | |
| update the port number so as to specify a unique IP/port combination.</p> | |
| <p> | |
| To install an instance, first set the CATALINA_HOME environment variable to the | |
| name of the Tomcat installation directory. Then create a second environment | |
| variable CATALINA_BASE and point this to the instance folder. Then run "service | |
| install" command specifying a service name.</p> | |
| <div class="codeBox"><pre><code>set CATALINA_HOME=c:\tomcat_7 | |
| set CATALINA_BASE=c:\tomcat_7\instances\instance1 | |
| service install instance1</code></pre></div> | |
| <p> | |
| To modify the service settings, you can run <b>tomcat7w //ES//instance1</b>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| For additional instances, create additional instance folder, update the | |
| CATALINA_BASE environment variable, and run the service install again.</p> | |
| <div class="codeBox"><pre><code>set CATALINA_BASE=c:\tomcat_7\instances\instance2 | |
| service install instance2</code></pre></div> | |
