Install Gerrit on Windows as a service

[Bruniche]

Hello,

Info :
OS = Windows 2012 R2

Gerrit : last one - 2.13.4

I try to follow the instruction here :

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/install.html#_installation_complete

Gerrit start correctly if i launch this command line :
java.exe -jar bin\gerrit.war daemon --console-log

But i want to run it as a service, so i use the recommand prunsrv like show in the doc : 

prunsrv.exe //IS//Gerrit --DisplayName="Gerrit Code Review" --Startup=auto ^ --Jvm="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_111\bin\server\jvm.dll" ^ --Classpath=C:\Gerrit\bin\gerrit.war ^ --LogPath=C:\Gerrit\logs ^ --StartPath=C:\Gerrit ^ --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm ^ --StartClass=com.google.gerrit.launcher.GerritLauncher --StartMethod=daemonStart ^ --StopClass=com.google.gerrit.launcher.GerritLauncher --StopMethod=daemonStop

But i have always the same issue :

[2016-12-31 12:29:13] [info]  [ 2080] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.15.0 64-bit) started

[2016-12-31 12:29:13] [info]  [ 2080] Running 'Gerrit' Service...

[2016-12-31 12:29:13] [info]  [ 2080] Commons Daemon procrun finished

I dont find how to correct this issue (i find nothing this)

Thanks for your help

Hi,
We are having the same issue with the same config (Win + Gerrit versions).

Does anyone know if that method was removed recently, so should this work with some older Gerrit?

I too am having this same problem on Windows Server 2012 R2. Tried it with 2.13.2, 2.13.5 with no success.

Hi there,

Did you find a solution to your problem? I got the exact same error message in Windows 10.

Script code

SET GERRIT_SITE_HOME=C:\gerrit\review_site
cd C:\gerrit
prunsrv.exe //IS//Gerrit --DisplayName="Gerrit Code Review" ^
  --Startup=auto ^
  --Jvm=auto ^
  --Classpath="%GERRIT_SITE_HOME%\bin\gerrit.war" ^
  --LogPath="%GERRIT_SITE_HOME%\logs" ^
  --StartPath="%GERRIT_SITE_HOME%" ^
  --StartMode=jvm ^

  --StopMode=jvm ^
  --StartClass=com.google.gerrit.launcher.GerritLauncher --StartMethod=daemonStart ^
  --StopClass=com.google.gerrit.launcher.GerritLauncher --StopMethod=daemonStop

Thank you
