Mongrel users - Jan 2008 - ERROR RUNNING ''service::install''

Hi,

I''m trying to start a Mongrel (1.1.3) Server, running as a Windows
Service, via

mongrel_rails service::install -N FDS_Server_4001 -p 4001 -e production

But I get the following error message :

ERROR RUNNING ''service::install'': Plugin /service::install
does not
exist in category /commands

I never had this problem before (Win XP, Vista), until I tried
installing on a Win 2003 Server ; I don''t know if it''s
related...

Does anyone know what causes this? A search in Google for this error
message yields nothing...

Chris.

What version of mongrel_service are you installing?

if you do just "mongrel_rails" only, you will see the list of
available commands, I bet you will have a "windows::service::install"
set of commands instead of just "service::install"

This was due some changes in the win32-service gem introduced in 0.6.x series.

This issue was fixed in latest (0.3.4) release of mongrel_service.

gem install mongrel_service -v ''0.3.4''

You''re right: I upgraded mongrel_service and now see the 
service::install command. Unfortunately, I got a new error message when 
I tried creating the Mongrel Service:

C:\web\FDS_Server>mongrel_rails service::install -N FDS_Server_4001 -p 
4001 -e production
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:379:in 
`report_activate_error'': Could not find RubyGem win32-service (>=
0.5.2,
< 0.6.0) (Gem::LoadError)

Finally, installing win32-service 0.5.2 did the trick... But the current 
version is 0.6.1 ; will mongrel_service be compatible with it in the 
future?

Thanks for your help, once again,

Chris.

mongrel_service only use win32-service to register/unregister the service.

Is not possible maintain compatibility with both releases 0.5.x or
0.6.x due some API changes.

The dependency on win32-service is planned to be removed completely.
