Hi Alan, As someone who is looking to deploy OpenBD in a production environment, most likely across multiple instances, I'm really not interested in running it from the CMD line. I think anybody that would use OpenBD in production on Windows would want it ran as a service, since otherwise you need to login and run it from the CMD line. I need the service to run upon boot with no further interaction.
I think being able to run it from the CMD line is ok for development, but for an actual hosted site, it's pretty trivial and almost a non issue. From my position I would say in the how to "oh, btw, if you want to, it is possible to just run it from the command line" but the primary means should be running it as a service. Just my two cents. I had it working fine like this prior to 1.1. I unpacked it, tweaked some XML (as stated in the wiki), set it up as a service, and presto, I'm at the BD admin page. The thing is, with 1.1, even by setting it up as a service, I can get as far as running the dump file, etc. So OpenBD is up and serving.. So all seems well until I try and run BDAdmin. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
