[Xitami] Installing Xitami as a service

[Ricketts, Layne]

See my recent post below and the response from Steve Winn. It worked
perfectly for me, although I am using the standard version, not Xitami
Pro. Xitami 2.5c2.

How do I get Xitami Pro installed as a service?  Xitami Standard is
simply from the command line: xiwinnt -i , but xipro.exe doesn't have a
similar option.  Xipro.exe -s installs it in the background, but not as
a service.  I even tried using FireDaemon Pro, an external program that
installs applications as Windows services - but even that program isn't
helping.

The older version 2.4d9 that had the installer was a lot simpler to
figure out, but the newer open source versions are just as easy once you
figure out what to do (guess that's true with anything heh).

1. Unzip the xitami archive to c:\xitami 2. In the \xitami\win32 folder,
copy the xicpl32.cpl to your
\windows\system32 directory. Copy xisrv32.exe to the \xitami directory.
3. Goto a command prompt, type "cd\xitami" to change to the xitami
directory. Then type "xisrv32.exe -i" to install the service. The
service is now installed.

To uninstall the service you can run "xisrv32.exe -u".

The service will automatically start when you reboot, or go into
services and start it manually, or open the xitami control panel and
start it there.

If you are going to be accessing folders or files over the network, you
may need to go into services and tell the xitami service to logon with
an account that has access.
