http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38917 Summary: [daemon] prunsrv prohibits non-alphanumeric characters in service names Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Daemon AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Windows, the Apache daemon prunsrv prohibits non-alphanumeric characters in the service name, for example blanks, while installing the service (//IS//<servicename>). Checking the service names on my machine and other peoples PCs show that there do exist services with blanks and numeric characters in the service name. So why is prunsrv prohibitting this? I have searched the web for any conventions regarding Windows servce names. The MSDN documentation for CreateService (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createservice.asp) does only only forbid slash (/) and backslash (\). It defines the service name like this: "Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the service to install. The maximum string length is 256 characters. The service control manager database preserves the case of the characters, but service name comparisons are always case insensitive. Forward-slash (/) and back-slash (\) are invalid service name characters." This should be fixed in service.c, __apxIsValidServiceName function by checking the service name length (max 256) and making sure there is no slash or backslash. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
