I installed Servoy 5.1.4 application server (without the developer) on a Windows machine and everything works fine. But I also want to install it as a Windows service, but can’t seem to figure out how.
Apparently the installation should prompt me if I want to do this or not, but that option isn’t displayed. Documentation refers to a file called wrapper.exe, which does not exists in the Servoy folder and neither do the batch files that should install it for me. When I check the Wiki page there is a link to documentation about this (http://wiki.servoy.com/display/DOCS/Run … +a+service). But I have no access to that page.
So, how can I get this to work?
Hi Vincent,
one of the first screens in the dialog will show you the attached screen.
Here you need to select whether or not to install the service.
I don’t think there’s an option to do this once you’ve installed Servoy.
Hope this helps![attachment=0]service.png[/attachment]
when starting servoy as a service, you may have problems to connect to db on other servers as the service is started with the system rights and not with session user’s ones. use the account you used to start servoy as an exe to start the service.
even though, you may still have problem to update solutions afterwards (the solutions which used remote dbs), and I have not fixed this one yet.
not done much tests, but the solution to the former problem is to move the sqljdbc_auth.dll (required in system 32 to use domain accounts to connect to mssql servers using windows authentification) in the servoy/application_server/service folder.
Thank you for your help. I overlooked the option at the installation. Now it’s running nicely as a service. ![:)]( "Smile")
Regarding the account for running that service, I will keep it in mind in case I need it. At this moment the database is running on the same server as the Servoy server.
