Windows service

There are two ways to configure system properties when starting Bamboo as a service, either via the command line or in the Windows registry.

Setting properties for Windows services from the command line

1. Identify the name of the service that Bamboo is installed as in Windows (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services):
   
   
   
2. Open a command prompt from Start > Run > type 'cmd' > Enter.
3. Change directory to the bin directory of your Bamboo installation directory.

4. Run:

   tomcat7w //ES//%SERVICENAME%
   

   In the above example, it would be tomcat7w //ES//Bamboo
   
   

5. Click on the Java tab to see the list of current start-up options:
   
6. Append any new option on its own new line by adding to the end of the existing Java Options. Refer to the list of startup parameters below.

Setting properties for Windows services using the Windows registry

In some versions of Windows, there is no option to add Java variables to the service. In these cases, you must add the properties by viewing the option list in the registry.

To set properties for Windows services using the Windows registry

1. Go to Start > Run, and run "regedit32.exe".
   
2. Find the Services entry:
   32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Apache Software Foundation >> Procrun 2.0 >> Bamboo
   64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Apache Software Foundation >> Procrun 2.0 >> Bamboo
   
3. To change existing properties, especially increasing Xmx memory, double-click the appropriate value.
   
4. To change additional properties, double-click options.
   
5. Refer to the list of parameters below. Enter each on a separate line.

Changing the Bamboo start port

1. Stop Bamboo.
2. Edit <Bamboo install directory>/conf/server.xml

3. Update the following so that Connector port is set to the port value you require:
   
   

    <Service name="Catalina">
           <Connector port="8085"
                      maxThreads="150"
                      minSpareThreads="25"
                      connectionTimeout="20000"
                      enableLookups="false"
                      maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
                      protocol="HTTP/1.1"
                      useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
                      redirectPort="8443"
                      acceptCount="100"
                      disableUploadTimeout="true"/>
