windows deployment in 2019

[Jesús Martí­nez]

Hi everyone.

i know there is a link for what i am going to ask (https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-cookbook/en/latest/deployment/windows.html) but please bear with me.

I have a pyramid app i can launch with pserve and i want to make it a service in windows. I found that powershell now offers a tool to run .exe's as services called New-service, the instructions in the link above nowhere refer to this tool and that makes me think that maybe it is a little outdated. Can we not use the New-service cmdlet to create the service? 

In my case i created a service with this:

> New-Service -Name "gen_excel" -DisplayName "generador de excel" -Description "webapp para generador de excel" -BinaryPathName "C:/`Program Files`/generador_excel/venv/Scripts/pserve.exe C:/`Program Files`/generador_excel/production.ini"

and i get a positive response, the service is created but when i try to run it i get ERROR 1053 "service didnt respond in timely manner" or something like that. (i get response in spanish, tried to translate it for you).

between the many posibles ways to escape blankspaces and the little verbosity of the error i just cant make this work.

have any of you gone this route (creating service with New-service)? how did you make it work?

thanks. regards

Hi, I have got a very good experience with nssm (https://nssm.cc/). 

I make a batch file that runs 

  cd where-my-production.ini-rests

  pserve production.ini

which is then run by nssm as a service.

If you insist on powershell, are the ` in your ...Name "C:/`Program Files`/genera... really 

back-ticks (or whatever they are called)? I believe there might be a problem. Try using ' and 

try quoting the whole path:

> New-Service -Name "gen_excel" -DisplayName "generador de excel" -Description "webapp para generador de excel" -BinaryPathName "'C:/Program Files/generador_excel/venv/Scripts/pserve.exe' 'C:/Program Files/generador_excel/production.ini'"
