Running Tomcat on Windows XP via a non-administrator user

843842Apr 11 2008 — edited Jun 23 2008
Hi,

Do anyone have a Tomcat installation on Windows XP that they can use via a non-administrator logon?

Here is a bit more background of my problem:

I can run Tomcat on my PC if I am logged on as my XP Adminstrator account (ADMIN) but not if I am logged on via my restricted account (GM_UAM).

Under GM_UAM:
a) I get a 'permission denied' if I try to change or restart the Tomcat Service.
b) When the Tomcat Service shows as running, http://localhost:8080 results in a DNS Error / Page Cannot Be Displayed from IE.

I have tried (under ADMIN), setting the Tomcat Service to run as Local System and as GM_UAM but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I would like to run it under GM_UAM because this is my ordinary day-to-day logon.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
