I'm trying to run mongrel_service for a small rails app under Win 2003. I have installed the service and can run with the default local system account fine. However once I change the account to a new custom service account I cannot start the service. Nothing is being logged, in the event log or any of the mongrel logs. The -B switch doesn't create any debug logs.
I know this is going to be a Windows permission that hasn't been granted it's just how to track it down? What does work: - local system - Log in as my admin account, use runas to run a command prompt as my new service user - then copy the mongrel_service path/paramters from the registry and run as is (modified as mongrel_rails) - this works fine. Initially I had a warning about the ./log directory but once granted full control all seems fine. - The service account is marked with run as service, ./log and ./tmp have been updated to allow full control for the service account, the account is also a member of the users group (which inherits some default file system ACLs). Note some of these I would not normally do for a least priv account but just to document what I've tried. - Adding administrators group to the service account - of course seems to clear the problem. Anything else I can check? Ruby version is 1.8.6 patch level 111 on Win32 Mongrel service 0.3.4 _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
