To Start Tomcat7 Service :

  • Open cmd, go to bin directory within "Apache Tomcat 7" folder. You will see some this like C:\..\bin>

  • Enter above command to start the service: C:\..\bin>service.bat install. The service will get started now.

  • Enter above command to start tomcat7w monitory service. If you have issue with starting the tomcat7 service then remove the service with command : C:\..\bin>tomcat7 //DS//Tomcat7

  • Now the service will no longer exist. Try the install command again, now the service will get installed and started: C:\..\bin>tomcat7w \\MS\tomcat7w

  • You will see the tomcat 7 icon in the system tray. Now, the tomcat7 service and tomcat7w will start automatically when the windows get start.
