Hello.
I've been playing around with Merlin 3.2.5 and I'm having issues with running as an NT service. After talking with Stephen, I put together a quick FAQ at: http://wiki.apache.org/avalon/AvalonFAQ/Merlin
But I'm _still_ having issues. Basically, when I start up merlin as a service, nothing happens. No logs, no services, nothing. So it's dying somewhere before merlin can even start up and create a log file. I'm wondering how others have merlin setup, especially if you're running it as an NT service or Unix daemon. Here's some of my setup:
MERLIN_HOME = C:\root\home\farra\dev\tools\servers\merlin MERLIN_DAEMON = C:\root\home\farra\dev\tools\servers\merlin AVALON_HOME = C:\root\home\farra\dev\tools\servers\merlin
MERLIN_HOME/merlin.properties: merlin.kernel=file:///${merlin.home}/config/kernel.xml merlin.override=file:///${merlin.home}/home/config.xml merlin.deployment=file:///${merlin.home}/home/block.xml merlin.info=true
A couple of points .. the problem you are having will be logged in the MERLIN_HOME/bin/nt/wrapper.log - this contains the wrapper startup logging leading to merlin kernel establishment.
Second point concerns your configuration. You should place the above properties file in MERLIN_DAEMON not MERLIN_HOME. Remember that in the NT service configuration we are using the -home command line option so that the ${merlin.home} value is MERLIN_DAEMON and then merlin looks there for a merlin.properties file. In you example it will not be found because your properties file is over in MERLIN_HOME/merlin.properties.
Cheers, Stephen.
