Installing Windows Service

Rodrigo

The documentation in the website about the installation of services, particularly for Windows is for previous versions of Mango "Installing services (Mango 3.5.x and lower)" will this method still work with Mango 3.7.7?

Thanks!

MattFox

No, refer mango 3.6 and later for the 3.7 install
This is at least about using adopt jdk
The rest of the windows install is similar except you fire start-mango.bat and not ma-start.bat

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your answer, would you be so kind to explain a little further? I am not familiar with Linux.

Thanks!
Rodrigo

MattFox

It was more for understanding the type of AdoptJDK version to use, that and the launcher, that's all.
The rest of windows should be the same.
Let me know what part exactly you are a bit lost with.

Rodrigo

Hi Matt,
I was referring to Installing Services, if I understand correctly you are talking about the Mango Installation itself, right?
I had no problem installing Mango, I'm talking about the yajsw file to install a service for Mango to autostart with Windows

Rodrigo

MattFox

Sorry Rodrigo, I completely missed your question!
Windows I would imagine would be the same. I can't see how that changes.
Apologies, I'm a linux guy hence I assumed you meant with the installation process.
I've just checked my system. all is the same, you should have no issues - sorry for the runaround!

Fox

Rodrigo

No worries!
Thanks for the help Matt!

Best,
Rodrigo

Rodrigo

Hi guys,

Still with problems, installing the service i get this error
it says: ""java"" not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I have installed the AdoptOpenJDK

Can you give me a hand?

Thanks!
Rodrigo

MattFox

Look up adding java as an environment variable for windows.
It will under advanced in tje system properties panel

Rodrigo

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the help, I have been able to install the service, but it does not work, it starts and stops alone and when is running I can't access mango.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Rodrigo

I have found this in the wrapper at C:\Mango\yajsw\log\wrapper

Looks like a missing file to me

Wingnut2.0

javaws.jar is not included in AdoptOpenJDK which is required for YAJSW to work.

MattFox

Thanks Wingnut

Rodrigo

Thanks Matt / Wingnut

Can you guys elaborate a little on how to fix it?

Best,
Rodrigo

Wingnut2.0

Hello Rodrigo,

I have found that if you want to run a version of 3.7.7 or lower on Windows as a service your best bet is Installing Oracle JDK 8. I know it doesn't necessarily follow the recommendation's here, but it allows you to run as a service.

https://docs-v3.mango-os.com/installing-java

For Mango versions 3.6.x and higher we recommend using the latest version of Adopt OpenJDK.
For Mango versions 3.5.x and lower you should use JDK 8 (OpenJDK 8 should work however we primarily tested on Oracle JDK). Older versions of Mango may not work correctly if you use a newer JDK.
OpenJDK 8 builds for ARM 32 processors seem to perform extremely poorly, we suggest avoiding this JDK

Another option that I haven't looked into is explained here.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/new-service?view=powershell-7

Rodrigo

Wingnut,

You think I should buy an Oracle JDK 8 license?

Best,
Rodrigo

Wingnut2.0

Hello Rodrigo,

Here is another alternative. This works on windows with AdoptOpenJDK 11.

https://nssm.cc/

NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager

MattFox

@wingnut2-0 said in Installing Windows Service:

NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager

I laughed a little too hard at that one

Rodrigo

hahaha

I will try to use this and get back to you with news.

Thanks guys!

Best,
Rodrigo
