Running ewbsrvr.exe as service |
Tue, Nov 3 2015 4:29 AM | Permanent Link |
Petter Topp | I have installed the ewbsrvr.exe as a service on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (ewbsrvr.exe /install) (Cmd - run as administrator)
But it seems that when running as a service, ewbsrvr.exe can't access settings. IOW site is loded, but no data can be accessed. If I stop the service, and run ewbsrvr as a standalone everything works fine. 1. Where are the settings for ewbsrvr stored? 2. Do I need to create a separate ewbsrvr "service" account in my domain for configuring and installing? 3. Just to be sure, when ewbsrvr is installed as a service, Will I need to stop the service and launch ewbsrvr as stand alone application to change settings (In my case when running as service there is no icon in the sys tray) ?

Uli Becker | Petter,
> Where are the settings for ewbsrvr stored? Search for ewbsrvr.ini (usually stored in "C:\ProgramData\Elevate Software\Elevate Web Builder 2 Web Server") > Just to be sure, when ewbsrvr is installed as a service, Will I need to stop the service and launch ewbsrvr as stand alone application to change settings (In my case when running as service there is no icon in the sys tray) ? That's what I do. If you run the server as a service there is no icon on the taskbar and you can't access the settings directly. AFAIK Tim is working on a webinterface to make things easier. I use two batch files in order to stop and restart the service: net start ewbsrvr net stop ewbsrvr To edit the settings, I stop the service, start the server exe, do my work and close it. Then restart the service. On the desktop of my windows server I have a folder with links and batch files, so that changes can be done very quickly (see screenshot). Uli Attachments: Clip2.png |

Make sure it's not pointing to your user specific folders since service by default would run as local system account (and not as your user account). > 1. Where are the settings for ewbsrvr stored? EWB Web Server will first look for the INI in the same folder as EXE and then fall back to default location in "C:\ProgramData\Elevate Software\Elevate Web Builder 2 Web Server\ewbsrvr.ini" So you could copy the ewbsrvr.exe and ini to separate folder and then register that as a service - this allows you to have different settings from default install (of course also means one has to keep updating the exe as it gets updated). > 2. Do I need to create a separate ewbsrvr "service" account in my domain for configuring and installing? You can but do not have to - just make sure config and data is generally accessible on the machine (i.e. and not under specific user folders) > 3. Just to be sure, when ewbsrvr is installed as a service, Will I need to stop the service and launch ewbsrvr as stand alone application to change settings (In my case when running as service there is no icon in the sys tray) ? For now yes. I have no doubt Tim has plans web admin interface at some point (written in EWB of course). Raul |

<< I have no doubt Tim has plans web admin interface at some point (written in EWB of course). >> Yes, absolutely. I just have to solve a couple of other architecture issues first, and then I'll be working on rounding out the server with SSL, a proper web interface, and a guardian app. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Petter Topp | After fiddling around with your information, I still could not make it work...
The server (ewb) is hosting a intranet site in a domain with a lot of group policies - IOW problems were related to user rights... Site (EWB-Application) is now running, even if the server has been restated during the night Thanks Petter |
