Thanks. Well it installs OK, but won't start - just times out. Found some inconsistencies in the book:
*Deployment Recipes:* "In order to use web2py as a Windows service, you must create a file "options.py" with startup parameters" and one of the options mentioned "numthreads" appears in the actual options_std.py file as ## deprecated; remove ... start with python web2py.py -W install *The Core:* Note that the options.py file shown in this chapter is different to the one in Deployment recipes. "If you edit this file, you need to import it explicitly with the -Lcommand-line option. It only works if you run web2py as a Windows Service." Deployment Recipes doesn't mention the -L option. Is the -L option necessary ? So, I have changed my options.py file around, and I can successfully run the application by: web2py.exe -L options.py I can install the service OK with : web2py.exe -W install but, this won't work: web2py.exe -W start, I also tried: web2py.exe -W start -L options.py. I also tried running as Local System Account, and a specfic Admin account, neither works. Can't see anything in the System Logs. Thanks --
