I even copied the sample rsync.conf and rsync.secrets files in place of the files I had and it still doesn't want to start as a service. NEW DEVELOPMENT I can run rsync as a daemon by typing the following at the command line: C:\Documents and Settings\Krsnendursync --daemon -v --no-detach --config=c:/rsy ncd/rsyncd.conf Then from backuppc computer I can run rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::test . and it works.. It copies the file in c:\test to the directory on the backuppc computer. The problem is getting rsync to run as a windows service. It seems to run fine on its own. So I guess the rsyncd.conf file is not the problem. see if you can modify the service entry to use the command line above, should be do-able. You may have to use dos commands and net commands to do it. Not sure why you would need to, something is screwy with your setup. It may be likely that the service originally installed stayed behind. Check its advanced properties to make sure its parameters are correct. If possible, remove it and re-add it using the service.bat. Regards, Les - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] Rsync on windows problem
I install rsync using the msi installer. When I try to run the service from windows Administrative tools/services it gives me the message. The rsyncd service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work for example the Performance logs and Alerts service. When I try to start it from the command line I get the error: C:\Documents and Settings\Krsnenducygrunsrv -S rsyncd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. What's happening? It used to work fine previously but because of conflicts with cygwin1.dll in NX Client I stopped it and only recently tried reinstalling it. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It used to work fine previously but because of conflicts with cygwin1.dll in NX Client I stopped it and only recently tried reinstalling it. I've had similar problems in the past: verify that you only have *one* copy of the 'cygwin1.dll' file on your sysem. If you find several occurrences, keep the newest one (latest version) and delete (or rename) the other ones. Place it somewhere in the PATH, so that every program can use it. -- Vincent - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

What's happening? It used to work fine previously but because of conflicts with cygwin1.dll in NX Client I stopped it and only recently tried reinstalling it. That last line says it all!! Firstly, i suggest using the cygwin-rsyncd package from the BackupPC site itself. It is as simple as extracting a zip file to c:\rsyncd and then running a batch file to install it as a service. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34854 Second, make sure only 1 cygwin1.dll is in your path. Third. I had issues too with this sort of thing. Except mine was related to another project call usbpc. Basically that was a site on the internet which gave you a KDE desktop for free, but you would need to install some client software (which included a version of the NX Client, which uses cygwin). After i realised it was not what i wanted i uninstalled it and thought everything would be ok. Then all hell broke loose. My Cygwin X server would not run, erroring out. But not all the time. To cut a long story short the problem was The NX Client from usbpc was installed to an external drive. It modified the registry entires in the cygwin folders and changed the location of the tmp directory to the external drive. When i had the external drive plugged in, X would work. When i didn't X would fail. Once i removed the registry entry which was overwriting /tmp in cygwin everything was fine. My guess is that you still have some left over registry entries from the NX client install which are causing the crash. so, best bet would be to remove cygwin, delete all references left behind in the registry for cygwin and NX Client (removing and reinstalling cygwin is not enough) and then reinstall.
