1. using webrick:
ref: http://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/4123
Download and install the Windows NT Resource Kit fromhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en
Create the service running:
path\INSTSRV.EXE your_service_name path\SRVANY.EXEin my case
pathis:"C:\Program Files\Windows NT Resource Kit\INSTSRV.EXE" redmine_webrick "C:\Program Files\Windows NT Resource Kit\SRVANY.EXE"could be also
C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.Run regedit (Start -> Run -> regedit)
Add the following registry key if it's not already there:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\your_service_name
Right click on this registry key and select New -> Key. Name it
Parameters.Add two values to the
Parameterskey. Right click on the parameters key, New -> String Value. Name itApplication. Now create another one namedAppParameters. Give them the following values:- Application:
PathToRuby.exe, eg.C:\ruby\bin\Ruby.exe - AppParameters:
C:\RUBYAPP\script\server -e production, whereRUBYAPPis the directory that contains the redmine website.
Example:
C:\redmine\script\server -p 2000 -e production(-p indicates the port webrick will be listening to, and -e the environment used)- Application:
Now you can go to Administrative Tools -> Services. There you can start your service (the one with nameyour_service_name) and test whether or not it is working properly. It should be noted that the service will be marked as started prior to WEBrick finishing its boot procedure. You should give it 1min or so before trying to hit the service to verify that it is working correctly.
2. using mongrel:
ref: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki ref: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Win32
first install mongrel and mongrel_service gem
gem install mongrel
gem install mongrel_service
then create the service
mongrel_rails service::install -N redmine_mongrel -c c:\redmine -p 3000 -e production
Then goto RUN=>services.msc scroll down to the service redmine_mogrel and make the startup type automatic from manual.. do the same for all depend services needed by the application like Wampapache wampmysql and such..
3. using thin:
ref: http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/http://www.astarbe.com/es/trucos/windows/srvany_convierte_una_aplicacion_en_servicio
first install thin
(you'll need to install rack gem, if not already installed)
gem install rack
gem install thin
follow the same steps indicated for webrick, but add another value named "AppDirectory"
(this is needed in order to avoid using c:\ruby\bin\thin.bat If I just pointed to the bat file, I couldn't stop the service)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\redmine_thin\Parameters
Application: c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe AppDirectory: c:\redmine AppParameters: c:\ruby\bin\thin start -p 4000 -e production
--
you can control your service with the following commands
net start redmine_xxx
net stop redmine_xxx
sc config redmine_xxx start= auto
sc config redmine_xxx start= auto dependency= MySql
sc delete redmine_xxx
I completely recommend the 2nd method which is simple and safe..
Thanks stackoverflow
