Running As Service - Tracks

I’m not much of a Ruby person and installed RubyStack mainly to run Tracks. When I try to run the Tracks application as a service I get the following error:

Here is the command I used to install the service:

mongrel_rails service::install -N “Tracks” -p “3000” -c “C:\Documents and Settings\strivedi\BitNami RubyStack projects\tracks”

Here is what the service Path to Executable states:
“C:/Program Files/BitNami RubyStack/ruby/bin/mongrel_service.exe” single -e development -p 3000 -a 0.0.0.0 -l “log/mongrel.log” -P “log/mongrel.pid” -c “C:/Documents and Settings/username/BitNami RubyStack projects/tracks” -t 0 -r “public” -n 1024

Hi snafilter,

If you install a RubyStack service like that it won’t work because the Windows service will override the environment variables set by “user_ruby.bat”. I suggest you to try our ready-made Tracks stack http://bitnami.org/stack/tracks. Or you can try to fix the problem yourself adding to the top of your tracks “config/environment.rb” file something similar to the following:

You should also ensure that MySQL service is running before launching Mogrel service. Hope this helps .
