mongoose as windows service, failed error 1053

[Martin BA]

I'm trying to run Mongoose as Windows service. According my conditions I can't run it by "Install as service" in systray icon, I have to run it by command line.

This is commands I use:

Service has been successfully installed:

Registry:

But I'm still getting ERROR 1053 on SC START. What am I doing wrong please?

Hi Martin,

commands and registry info got stripped out from your email, could you re-send it please?

I don't think "-service" paramenter should be used in your .bat file.

Please delete the service, remove the param, and re-create the service.

still getting the same error - see attached screen

(btw, if you are able, we could use teamviewer)

Sorry, can't use team viewer.

I am not sure how settings in .reg file interact with the service. I think

Windows start services in windows/system32 directory, which contradicts .reg file.

Try to register your service with a bare minimum, and start it:

sc create MG binPath= c:\atmos3\mongoose\mongoose.exe

sc start MG

 

[Martin ILLE]

unfortunately, the same error... but the starting (sc start MG)  took a few seconds, probably trying to start the service

do you have any idea please?

ok, rename mongoose.conf in the mongoose directory to something else.

make sure port 8080 is not occupied by anything, and try starting service MG again.

[Martin ILLE]

port 8080 not used (line netstat...), still the same error 1053

btw, my goal is to run mongoose without systray icon, so I don't need it exactly as service. if is it here another solution how to run it without systray, I can try it.. unfortunately I don't know C programming language for embedding it

Maybe firewall blocks it, and service manager gives up on waiting?

Try to start the binary by hands first. Add a rule to firewall to allow listening on port.

[Sergey Lyubka]

Looked at main.c, apparently a "--" argument needs to be passed to mongoose.exe in service mode.

[Martin ILLE]

Ok I turned off firewall and tried again with "--service" parameter. Still looks the same: http://prntscr.com/1qtx8a

Not "--service", just "--".

[Martin ILLE]

Working!! http://prntscr.com/1qty37 http://prntscr.com/1qty64

Even with firewall turned on.

Thank you very much!
