test of Seaside as a Windows NT service

[PhotonDemon]

Hi All,

I have managed to package an XD image of a very simple Seaside demo as a Windows NT service. The package looks clean and installs as an NT service without a problem. When I start the NT service, the following is logged:

Snip...
The following error(s) were detected during the startup sequence which may interfere with correct operation:

1) MessageNotUnderstood: GreaseVASTPreload class>>defined
2) MessageNotUnderstood: GreaseCore class>>defined
3) MessageNotUnderstood: GreaseCoreExceptions class>>defined
Snip...
Process reportError: MessageNotUnderstood: GreaseVASTPreload class>>defined
Dumping Stack File KscSea01.sdf ...
...Finished Dumping Stack File KscSea01.sdf

I have cut the standard stuff logged by the VM when a service starts. The above entries are new to me. They look like something is being initialized and maybe logged somewhere and that results in the "MessageNotUnderstood:" entries (I cut about 30 of them). Then I think the VM gives up and the NT service fails to finish starting.

I think this problem has more to do with Seaside than trying to run it as an NT service. Is there something else I need to include? Is there something I need to do to Seaside before I package it? Any ideas at all will be appreciated.

I also plan to try to package this test Seaside app for Linux but I know very little about how to do that, so I'm trying to get this working first.

Hey Louis,

I (and you also was member of that) had a very long thread about this special problem in this forum and I posted the specific solution to that - just read that thread and look if the solutuon mentioned is ok for you ...

The thread:

and the special posting with that error:

I think it will help you ...

Before going to Linux - try to package the application under Windows as a headless (console !) application, which is not the same as a NT Service. A headless application under Windows should be started under Windows in a console window and you see the TTY outputs of the server application (I think I used esvio.exe to test my image under Windows).

When I managed this, there was actually no real problem to do the same under Linux - but I had still two packaging classes though: one for Windows and one for Linux with minor differences.

Hi Marten,

Thanks, Marten, you are quite right, I did follow that thread but I must not have paid much attention to the errors you listed (I'm also trying to do two things at once and need a vacation). They probably didn't mean too much to me at the time, as I wasn't far enough along to know what they meant. Also, I don't remember anything like them when I did this the first time (almost two years ago) with V8.0.0.

I followed your suggestions (haven't made a configuration map yet, not exactly sure how) and now get these errors:

The following error(s) were detected during the startup sequence which may interfere with correct operation:

1) MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>addToStartUpList:
2) MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>newRandom
3) MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>isPublic
4) MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>isPublic
Process reportError: MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>addToStartUpList:

These methods are located in the Grease layer !? Just to give you a hint, how my Seaside-application packaging looks like:

And between Windows and Linux only the #actualIncludedSubApplicationNames methods are different - that is not optimal, but I guess that concerning the actual size of the resulting image (3 MB) I do not need to spend much more time here right now.
