Multiple Resin Environments - Windows Env - 2 Services

[dpman39]

Gurus,

I'm having trouble setting up 2 separate Resin Environments on a Windows 2003 platform and having them run as services.

Yes, I'm aware I can do this by simply running httpd.exe in each environment. BUT this doesn't work when I try and create 2 different windows services.

Example:
httpd.exe -install-as resin_lws -conf /C:/resin_lws/conf/resin.conf **Works Great**

httpd.exe -install-as resin_core -conf /C:/resin_core/conf/resin.conf **Works Great**

When I start the services, only one of the environments starts up. The other one says its started but I get nothing!

What am I missing???

Thanks!

Do you get any logs from the start up of the non-working server?

Also, what version of Resin is this?

[dpman39]

Resin 3.1.9

Have you ever done what I'm attempting?

Have you ever done what I'm attempting?

Yes.

I will need some sort of log information to diagnose the problem.

Thanks,

Hi Alan,

I've also failed to start the second Resin 3.1.9 server as a service. I've filed a bug report at:

Hi Alan,

Do you have a license in your license directory? Running multiple servers requires a license. Otherwise, the second server will fail to start.

If you do have a license, then do you have the log file for the second server when it's failing to start? If there's a log file for the first server, but not the second, then it may mean that Resin couldn't find the conf file for your second server.

Hi Alan,

I don't really have anything in the logs. I'm using the open source version of Resin. Do I need the professional version to have multiple environments?

You should be able to run two totally separate instances of resin without a license. You may need to change the watchdog and server ports so that the two resin instances don't conflict with one another. I haven't tried this yet and I'll need to verify that it works.

I have this same problem and I do have a license. I am running resin 3.1.8 on Windows XP Pro. Is there a solution?

I don't mind running it from the command line not as a service but the problem with that approach is that the log goes to the command window instead of to the log file.

You can always redirect output from the command window to a log file. Look in your resin.conf for "stdout:" and change it to a file name.
