Hello everyone. After stugging 3+ hours installing redmine I got success but still can’t install redmine as service (windows 2003). So here is my problem. I successfully installed redmine and mapped it to mysql, created database and initialized it with default values. Last thing I’m trying to do is to install it as service on windows 2003, and for this I’m running in cmd mode this instruction: mongrel\_rails service::install -N Redmine -c [your redmine folder] -p [portno] -e production and I get this error: C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.7.0-x86-mswin32-60/lib/ win32/service.rb:282:in `initialize’: no options provided (ArgumentError) When I try without params: mongrel\_rails service::install … it just says that name (-N) is obligatory. But when I try with name only (-N), I get the same error. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Anton ---

Please uninstall win32-service 0.7.0 mongrel\_service has been linked to an specific version of win32-service due API changes. gem install win32-service -v 0.5.2 ## – Luis L.

Hi Luis. Thanks for help, it worked with old version of win32-service. Does this mean I’ll be not able to run both win32-service versions together to keep another ruby-applications working which requires win32-service 0.6+ ? Anton ---

Seems is not working as expected, which could be due an old RubyGems version. Please update to latest RubyGems 1.3.5. I don’t have too much time now to update mongrel\_service, but if you want make it API compatible with latest win32-service, I’ll happily apply the patches and make a new release.
