Hello All,
I had been working on different open source projects. Due to requirements, I have installed Tomcat 6, Tomcat 7 and tons of Java (from V6 to V8). I used the zip file approach to install TC6, TC7 & TC8. I also installed windows services for TC6 & TC7 & TC8. When a project needs TC6, I disable TC7 services… I tried to clean up my computer (Windows) for another project and plan to use WAMP to install all basic modules instead of installing required modules manually. I have problems removing the TC6, TC7, TC8 windows services. First, for some long forgotten reasons, I gave unusual long names for the services (e.g. Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7). I tried to use the following command in the bin folder to remove TC7 for example:
tomcat7 //DS//"Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7"
The command windows did not return any errors but the Win service remains (and even after reboot). Please note. When I ran the above command, there was another pop up windows but it closed too quickly for me to see was there any error registered. Then, I tried to override the existing windows service with the command:
service.bat install "Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7"
No error returned. I can start TC7 service. I stopped the Win service and removed it again using the above command. No luck. I tried to rename the folder where the unzipped TCx are located (eg. TC7), and tried to remove the services. No luck either.
There is no other project running that is using or referencing TCx (I checked all running Win Services and installed programs).
However, in Window Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/RADAR/HeapLeakDetection/DiagnosedApplications/, there are registry entries for all versions of TCx.
Can someone kindly tell me how I can get rid of my stubborn Win Services for TCx? I want to use WAMP to install all the necessary modules I need to have. The primary reason I used manual install method for TCx before was I have major port conflicts within TCx with another project I was running and I have to manually change a lot of ports in TCx.
Thanks in advance & Happy Holidays.
Regards,
Sorcerer
