Service Tomcat disappeared from services list

Question

I have Apache Tomcat 7 installed on Windows 7. I had its service in Services, I could start/stop it there.

Today I installed Hippo CMS from http://www.onehippo.com/en/products/cms/try (section "Download Hippo CMS"). It installed itself in C:/Program files/Hippo. I realized that it is bundle with Tomcat inside itself. Then I uninstalled Hippo and... Apache Tomcat disappeared from Services!

I think the uninstaller removed it thinking it was its own Tomcat. My usual Tomcat folders are still at their place. I tried

• browsing to the usual localhost:8080.. nothing
• restarting my PC.. nothing
• running tomcat7.exe and tomcat7w.exe from C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin.. nothing

I'm thinking about reinstalling Tomcat.. any other idea? Thanks!

Answer 1

Try service.bat in /bin directory of tomcat.

I advise you to reinstall Tomcat, its faster than trying to recover.
