Thanks again.

I hadn't heard of the windows service control manager! I have now downloaded such a thing from http://www.nttools-online.de/english/srvmgr.htm, and sure enough the service was listed, but not started.

I have now started it, and it does seem to be working! Hoorah! Thanks.

Any chance you could update the sticky on this subject to include starting the service - what is the best way to access the service control manager?

Thanks Yves

I have had a look at the PortQry tool. I used the command

PortQry -wport 104 -wt 5

.

If I start and stop the server through the K-Pacs Server Admin tool, PortQry tells me that port 104 is listening when it is started, and that

the specified port currently does not have any port mappings

when it is stopped.

If I do the same thing with

kpserver-NT-Service /U

and

kpserver-NT-Service /IA

there is no activity from PortQry.

I really can't work out what is going on here!

I don't think the version in 0.9.7 was particularly broken, as the same problem happened when I reinstalled 0.9.5.

I have now installed 0.9.8, and again I have the same issue. Just before installing 0.9.8, I noticed that 0.9.5 was working correctly again!

Just after I installed it, I noticed the following notice next to the download:

Attention: make shure that KPServer.exe is not running before updating K-PACS!

As you might guess, I had it running when I did the update. What are the consequenses of leaving it running during the update - could this be the cause of my problems?

Thanks,
Ed

Hello again

I have now discovered that actually the NT-Service doesn't work with 0.9.5 either

If I try to start the service using

kpserver-NT-Service /IA

it tells me it is already running. But it does not appear in the Windows Task Manager and it doesn't work. If I stop the service using

kpserver-NT-Service /U

and then run it again with

/IA

it appears very briefly in the Task Manager and dissapears.

However, if I start the service using the K-Pacs Server configuration utility it does work, and it remains in the Task Manager. When I tried this on the later version (0.9.7) even this didn't work.

Is anyone else having any problems with the NT-Service app? I need this to work without being logged on to the machine or interacting with it, so the NT-Service is brilliant when it works!

Or am I the only person who uses K-PACS in this way

Ed

Hi

I have just installed version 0.9.7, over version 0.9.5.

I had the server running as an NT-service, and this stopped working.

Everytime I tried to start the service from the Server Admin Tool, it would dissapear from the task manager almost immediately.

If I tried to restart the service using the cmd interface, initially it would complain that it was already running, and if I stopped it then ran it again it would appear very briefly in the task manager and dissapear again.

I have now 'upgraded!' to 0.9.5, and all is well again.

Help!

I am running WindowsXP, with all current updates.

Thanks Andreas.

I didn't notice your reply in this forum until today - after I saw that you have implimented running as an NT- service in the new version.

I have installed 0.9.5, and the NT-service feature seems to be working!

Thanks for adding this feature, it makes the program much more useful for me

Yep - understand completely about registering
Now I have registered, any chance of a clue as to the date of 0.9.5, especially if it runs without being logged in... (see above)

Thanks, Ed
