Running two or more Raven DB Windows services on the same server

[Jim Baltika]

Hi,

I need to run Raven DB as windows services for different builds for different launched projects  on 888 and 960 versions also I want one experimental version like 2062 running as well. So questions is how do I run three or more Raven DB windows services on the same  server? The ' Raven.Server.exe /install ' will work on one of them right now. Any ideas?

Set different ports in the raven.server.exe.config file.

Hi Kijana,

I am not newbie to the ravendb :) I mean try to replicate problem. Get two instances of Raved DB builds, make config change like one port 40000 and another  build on 50000. Run cmd 'Raven.Server.exe /install' for the first build. it will install the windows service named 'Raven'. try repeat the same step for second build. The message in cmd prompt will say something like that "The services is already running". The problem is that the service name seems to me is hard-coded in service installer or I can't find way around. I looked to the code and could not find the way to pass custom service name. This way I could install with name Raven1 and second Raven2. 

Long time ago Oren sad that was fixed, but I never had time to verify or find out how its work.

Wasn't near a PC. Thought maybe it was a simple issue since config wasn't mentioned. That plus old thread link make a big difference on the question.

Still not near pc. In the forum it talks about the service name. Have you tried stopping the first installed service before installing the second? I would imagine it has to run under the config port, otherwise that's a major bug. Maybe it's still checking the service name. Anything in the source code for the installer to give hints?

Got to a PC.

Looks like /service-name was the fix mentioned in the thread.

also was on Raven.Server.exe /help

worked:

Cool.  Looks like I need to get  source code for new  build. It should work at least for new builds. Great. Thanks man J.B

Just too make things more clear, you can definitely run two instances of RavenDb as local windows services at the same time. Only you have to specify a different port in the Raven.Server.exe.config file (for the second service or both) and you have to rename the second instance using the service-name= parameter, like for example:

Raven.Server.exe /install /service-name=RavenDBTest
