Let me guess, the line :115 is actually... PUTS! Err, a big problem with this. Let me explain. A service, also known on *nix fields as "daemon", by default, lacks a "console" attached to it. That means STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. These default "pipes" are used by sentences like puts, which "write" data to the console. Since you're inside a service... you don't have one! :-P Also, lot of folks will correct me on this: adding puts in your code for debugging purposes is a bad practice. Instead you should use logger.debug/info/warn/error to log the event inside the development/production log files. So, replace puts "testing" with logger.debug "testing" and that should work fine since is the only place you're using it ;-) Anyway, next version of service add a workaround for this "bug by design" of services. > > Now we are getting close, why puts failed when running as windows service? > Note that it works fine when I'm running with "mongrel_rails start" > > And here are my answers to your questions.
