Hello, on my old windows box (XP with SP3) I have been using fossil service literary for several years. It was there, set as autostart and I was using it on daily basis. Last night, I wanted to change some of its options so I deleted service. To my horror I realized I can't recreate it (with custom trunk version of fossil) even with original command, which served well years ago: fossil.exe winsrv create fossil_service --display fossil_service --start auto --port 8080 --repository c:\repos\. --notfound "myfossilclone"
After much laboring I was able recreate service to original state with command: fossil.exe winsrv create fossil_service --display fossil_service --start auto --username .\LocalSystem --port 8080 --repository c:\repos\. --notfound "myfossilclone" Without specifically using ".\LocalSystem" creation of service failed. That user should be provided by default (as fossil help winsrv says), but it did not worked for me any more. I want to use --files '*.htm' parameter with windows service. I can use that parameter with fossil server command OK fossil.exe server --port 8080 --files '*.jpg' --notfound "myfossilclone" c:\repos\. but when I create service with --files '*.jpg' added, it is not possible to start such service fossil.exe winsrv create fossil_service --display fossil_service --start auto --username .\LocalSystem --port 8080 --files '*.jpg' --repository c:\repos\. --notfound "myfossilclone" It stays stopped. Any attempt to start the service fails with: "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" Would be someone able to help how to use "--files" parameter with service created by fossil winsrv?
