  Running rabbit as a windows service

This information was contributed by David.

The steps to get RabbIT running as a service under Windows Server 2003 are:

  1. Download and install RabbIT
  2. Download and install the "Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools" from the Microsoft site at Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
  3. Register a service called RabbIT by running the following command from a DOS window:
    "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\instsrv.exe" RabbIT "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe"
  4. Open the registry (usual cautions apply - backup first, etc) and find the entry for the RabbIT service. Add a new key called "Parameters" and in that, add a string value called Application, with value
    java -jar "/Program Files/RabbiT3/jars/rabbit3.jar" -f "/Program Files/RabbiT3/conf/rabbit.conf"
  5. Edit the RabbIT conf file to use absolute paths to all files, log, user, etc etc.
  6. Open the services manager (via Control Panel, Administrative Tools) - double-click on the RabbIT service, and then click "Start".
RabbIT should now be running on your system!

If it doesn't work, try debugging by open a command window and running the following command:
java -jar "/Program Files/RabbiT3/jars/rabbit3.jar" -f "/Program Files/RabbiT3/conf/rabbit.conf"
