The safest way to manually install the service is to use the provided

script. If necessary, you can use the <code>/user</code> switch to specify
a user to use for the installation of the service.

Account Control (UAC) you must either disable UAC or right-click on cmd.exe and
select "Run as administrator" in order to run this script. If UAC is enabled
neither being logged on with an Administrator account, nor using the

<p>
Tomcat supports installation of multiple instances. You can have a single
installation of Tomcat with multiple instances running on different IP/port
combinations, or multiple Tomcat versions, each running one or more instances on
different IP/ports.</p>
<p>
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
<pre><Connector port="8080" ...</pre> 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>

To modify the service settings, you can run <b>tomcat7w //ES//instance1</b>.
