Issues running http server as service

Post by pinne65 »

Hi,
I'm trying to run the http server as a service and I'm running into two issues:

1. Unless I'm logged on to the server in question the http server doesn't seem to want to run.

2. If I try to run Everything with a different user name than my domain admin account I get asked for credentials when I'm trying to access the web interface remotely. And I'm not sure exactly what credentials are expected. I created a domain account that's a member of the local admin group on the windows server in question.

Any 2 cents welcome!

TIA

1. Unless I'm logged on to the server in question the http server doesn't seem to want to run.
Please try running Everything as a client service.
This will install Everything as a service so you don't need to login to start the ETP/FTP/HTTP server.


2. If I try to run Everything with a different user name than my domain admin account I get asked for credentials when I'm trying to access the web interface remotely.
Everything will use different settings for each user. (unless you disable Tools -> Options -> General -> Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything)
If you disable "Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything", please ensure Everything.exe will have write permission to the same location as Everything.exe

There might be another HTTP service?
Try changing the HTTP server port in Everything to 8080 from Tools -> Options -> HTTP -> Listen on port.

Have you set a username/password in Tools -> Options -> HTTP?
