Hi, I'm creating an application that needs to run CherryPy as a background service. It currently works fine in Linux and Mac OS X, but I'm a bit struggling to make the windows version as I'm new to win development.
My code is a barely modified version of what can be found here : http://tools.cherrypy.org/wiki/WindowsService I've compiled it using py2exe and can run it without any problem logged as an administrator. The thing is that when I try to install the service on a default user account, I get an error 5 — "Access is denied" from OpenSCManager. C:\cherrypy_service\cherrypy_service.exe -install Traceback (most recent call last): File "boot_service.py", line 158 in <module> File "win32serviceutil.pyo", line 156, in InstallService pywintypes.error: (5, ’OpenSCManager’, ’Access is denied.’) I've tried to install it with "sc create cherryPyService binPath=C:\cherrypy_service\cherrypy_service.exe", even with specifying the username and password, but the result is the same : [SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5: Access is denied. What is the correct way to install a service for a non-admin account on windows ? Since I'd also like to create an installer for my app (I need to append a new entry in the %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file), I guess that I could install my service in the same time using admin privileges. Would that be possible ? What tool would you recommand for this ?
