tracd fails to run as service using srvany.exe and sc.exe

[jon.wbstr@…]

After upgrading from 0.10 to 0.11 and Python 2.4.4 tracd will no longer run as a service on windows 2003.

This was working with trac 0.11dev-r5982 according to: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindowsStandalone

Application: C:\Python24\Python.exe
AppParameters: C:\Python24\Scripts\tracd -s -b 209.35.180.183 -p 80 D:\svn_repository\trac\afids

Using these values on the command prompt gets me a running tracd, but attempts to start it through srvany fail without any kind of logging.

I have the same problem in the same scenario but trac 0.11 with python 2.5.2

here is the commandline:

tracd.py -p 8088 -a *,d:\alm\projects\conf\users.htdigest,trac d:\alm\projects

called from the ..\python25\Scripts directory it works fine, runs as a service with srvany it fails. On the same machine the previous version trac 0.10 with python 2.4.4 worked fine (now its uninstalled)

and here are my svrany registry entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet?\Services\Trac\Parameters\ Application: "d:\alm\python25\python.exe" AppParameters?: "d:\alm\python25\scripts\tracd.py -p 8088 -a *,d:\alm\projects\conf\users.htdigest,trac d:\alm\projects"

hope it helps uli

I have Trac 11.1 and Python 2.5.2 on Windows XP. With srvany.exe it looks like service do not runs at all.

If I register service with sc.exe system utility

sc create trac binPath= "C:/Python/Scripts/tracd.exe --single-env --port 8080\
--basic-auth=test-project,c:/trac/.htpasswd,realm c:/trac/test-project" displayname= "Trac Server" depend= Tcpip start= auto

it fails to run with reason:

Services
Could not start the Trac Server service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
OK

#7586 closed as duplicate.

This is an installation issue, but as there's apparently no working recipe (TracOnWindowsStandalone#RunningTracdasservice is not enough?), it's maybe worth investigating.

Correct, there is no working recipe that I've been able to find.

The wiki instructions worked for Trac 0.10 and Python 2.4, but between the upgrade to Python 2.5 and Trac 0.11, this stopped working.

I'm running tracd as a service an it works just fine (Trac 0.11.1, WinXP, Python 2.5.2). AFAIR the problem is a change from 0.10 to 0.11.

For 0.10 the Application was python.exe with AppParameters? tracd.py and with 0.11 it is sufficient to use tracd.exe as Application.

Here's what I did:

• Download and install Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
• Run InstSrv?: InstSrv tracd SrvAny.exe
• Edit this reg. key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tracd
  • Create subkey Parameters
  • Add Application string value with exact fully qualified path to trac executable, e.g. C:\Python25\Scripts\tracd.exe
  • Add AppParameters string value with following data: -p8000 C:\tracenv1 C:\tracenv2

So the instruction on teo is correct, but with 0.11 tracd.exe should be used instead of tracd.py, which could be stated more clearly.

I've modified the recipe as suggested and added a link to it from the main TracStandalone page.

Ticket will be closed with the last round of documentation sync.

Last round of doc sync done in r7651 (well, the TracLinks changes where already in).

Thanks Simon for your feedback!
