Adding MySQL service as a Dependency to Tomcat service

To ensure that Tomcat starts only after MySQL runs, you need to configure Tomcat to depend on the MySQL service. Follow these steps:

1. Get the service name for both MySQL and Tomcat.
   
   
   
   
2. Launch the command prompt. Execute the following.
   sc config Tomcat7 depend= MySQL
3. You will get the following as confirmation.
   [SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS
4. You may verify it on Tomcat's service properties.
   

Configuring this dependency ensures that Tomcat will only start once MySQL is up and running, preventing potential connection issues during startup.
