Cron services not installable

[traxxus]

Hi UniFormServer devs

 

I using Coral 8.0 final in Windows Server 2008 x32.

I can't install thr Cron service.

 

When i press "Install and Run Service", nothing is going on.

After a few secons the Button apperas again in violet.

 

"Run Cron as program" works.

I am also experiencing this issue. I have tried both 8.5 and 8.4 to no success. Further trying to install as service manually and run as program manually both seem to fail. It only seems to run from the new unitray replacement.

I can confirm this issue on v8.5.5.

 

It fails to run the service. I've tried to delete the service, install it again, but it's the same. I've managed to track the problem down:

 

ERROR: Exception 7 trapped in source file 'D:\Home\Author\srvstart.v110\dll\CmdRunner.cpp' line 296

ERROR: Class 'CmdRunner' method 'CmdRunner'

An internal error has occurred.

I've run the service manually from cmd, using the cmd line that was specified in the service, i.e.

C:\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.exe svc coral_cron -c C:\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.ini

And I've captured the output of srvstart.exe, by appending "> srvstart.log". Like this

C:\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.exe svc coral_cron -c C:\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.ini > C:\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.log

 

Hopefully, it will be fixed in new version.

 

Edit: There is some serious problem. I just launched srvstart.exe, without any cmd line, and here is what it outputs:

SRVSTART: 2012/07/01 08:28:48 ERROR severity=0 thread=2812 source=D:\Home\Author\srvstart.v110\exe\exe.cpp line=229 text=Invalid syntax

Running on Win7 Pro x64. Btw, Is that really a open-source tool? Does anyone know where I can find the source code? I would like to fix this issue :]

The solution is sooo simple:

 

- open ".....\UniServer\uni_con\cron_service\srvstart.ini" with an editor

- replace the section header "[uS_CronS1]" by "[coral_cron]"

- save and close the file

 

... and you are done ...

Remark: I'm a little bit surprised nobody since July 2012 found it worth to post the solution for that simple bug. Or did really nobody see it?
