Here are my notes: Prerequisites:
upgrade ruby gems (gem update --system) verify that the currently installed version of mongrel is 1.1.5 or later and if it isn't: uninstall mongrel (gem uninstall mongrel) install mongrel (gem install mongrel) verify that the currently installed version of mongrel_service is 0.4.beta3 or later and if it isn't: uninstall mongrel_service (gem uninstall mongrel_service) install mongrel_service (gem install mongrel_service) use gem list and verify that the mongrel_service installed is 0.4 or later. If it isn't, you need to take these extra steps: uninstall mongrel_service (gem uninstall mongrel_service) install mongrel_service 0.4.beta3 (gem install mongrel_service --pre) verify that the correct mongrel service has been installed by typing mongrel_service at the dos prompt. Which should produce output like: Mongrel Windows Service, version 0.4.beta2 (c) 2006-2010 The Mongrel development team. mongrel_service is not designed to run form commandline, please use mongrel_rails service:: commands to create a win32 service. If the version is less than 0.4.beta2, you need to manually copy the new mongrel_service.exe. On my system, Ruby is installed in C:\Ruby and I would have to copy the file: C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\mongrel_service-0.4.beta3\resources\mongrel_s ervice.exe to folder: C:\Ruby\bin Finally, navigate to the folder holding the RoR application and invoke these commands to uninstall/install the service: mongrel_rails service::remove -N APALSvc mongrel_rails service::install -N APALSvc -D "AutoPallet/AutoLoader Service" -c "D:/Development/APAL6/APALUI" -e production -p 3035 --log log/mongrel.log Cheers Pete > -----Original Message----- > From: mongrel-users-boun...@rubyforge.org > [mailto:mongrel-users-boun...@rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Edison Ting > Sent: Tuesday, 1 February 2011 5:44 p.m. > To: mongrel-users@rubyforge.org > Subject: Re: [Mongrel] Mongrel service > > Hi Luis, > I am trying to set up mongrel service on windows XP using > Rails 2.3.2 and mongrel 1.1.5. > I manage to run my app as windows services but I am unable to > go further with option such as -l, -P, or -C work. > I tried -l and give full log file path but there's no log file. > I tried -P but I don't see a pid file on the folder I specified. > I tried to do -p 4100+3 but unable to have the service run > for port 4100, 4101 and 4102. > I also would like to use -C so that I can use a yml config > file but I did not see any documentation of how to configure it. > I am familiar with mongrel_cluster in linux but I wish I > could get this working on windows machine as well. > I've read some of your post and indeed it helped me to get this far. > Please give me some light? > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > Mongrel-users mailing list > Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users > _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
