Hi Steeve, I recently installed fossil as a Windows service on my own PC. You need a utility like Srvany or (like I did) NSSM to do that.
Here are the steps that I took: To arrange this on a Windows box, do the following: Put all repository-files in one single directory (e.g. C:\fossil) , and set the extensions for all repository-files to '.fossil'. (See also: the Fossil "server" command). You can then start a server manually, e.g. by typing the command fossil server c:\fossil However, you can also install this command as a Windows service, using a utility like Srvany or Nssm. This has the advantage that you don't need to type the command everytime you start up your PC, and that you can not stop the server by accident (by closing all windows in the taskbar) Installing the service using NSSM Enter the command nssm install fossilsrv c:\bin\fossil.exe server c:\fossil ( I also remember having done some manual registry tweaks, but I cannot recall them exactly anymore. Anyhow, the relevant registry settings should look as shown below. ) === Registry settings [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\fossilsrv] "ImagePath"="C:\bin\nssm.exe" run [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\fossilsrv\Parameters] "AppDirectory"="c:\fossil" "Application"="c:\bin\fossil.exe" "AppParameters"="server c:\fossil" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\fossilsrv\Parameters\AppExit] @="Restart" == End of registry settings Kind regards, Jos van Kesteren _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
