You’re doing a great job, I like the improvements.

One thing that is a huge headache for me is that I can’t pass custom startup parameters to mongrel_rails service::install.

I can modify init.rb to add the commands I need (in my case -T) and then the service installs with this switch set. However, this causes a runtime error when I try to start the service:

invalid option: -T for command ‘mongrel::start’
Try mongrel::start -h to get help.

Would be so nice to have a bit more control over these things.

@Adam: There is no cache.

If you remember the name (not the display) you can remove the service using sc delete

Please keep in mind that for adding and removal of services you need to use a command prompt with enough privileges.

HTH.

UPDATE:
Used command line to determine that the services did not exist:
sc query state= all

Is there a cache somewhere that I must empty – kinda stuck now as I’m unable to install the mongrel services!

Any help greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:
Trying to install the service to different name does not help – still getting service already exists error.

Hi & Thaks for the excellent work!
I uninstalled mongrel_service 0.3.4 then installed mongrel_service (0.4.beta2). I then removed the existing services (they no longer appear in the Windows Services list). However when I try to add a new service with the same name as one of the removed services, I get this error:
“The service already exist (sic) please remove it first”

I’ll add them as different names, but thought you’d like to know.
Running Windows 5.2.3790 with Ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) and RubyGems 1.3.5.

Sorry, a case of mistaken identity…

@Cane: Before? Sorry, but there was never a control panel applet. Perhaps you're mistakenly it with InstantRails controller.
