[coLinux-users] Problem installing colinux service in 0.7.4

[Frank C. <vfc...@go...>]

I am trying to install a colinux vm as a service. The installation
succeeds, but wheneve I try to run it I get a this dialog -

Could not start the Colinux service on Local computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion.

The message comes immediately without delay.

When i try to run from the command line the result is as below


M:\Logger>net start Colinux
The service is not responding to the control function.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.


M:\Logger>net helpmsg 2186

The service is not responding to the control function.


EXPLANATION

The service cannot run your command at this time.

ACTION

Try the command again later.

If the problem persists, stop and restart the service.

However, if the problem continues after you have restarted the
service, report the problem. Be sure
to include the name of the service and the command that was refused,
to technical support.

I have been through the docs and it mentions some dependies,but the
colinux instlalation as complete. The notes mention that 0.7.5 doesn't
require any commands for additonal dependencies.

Wil the VMs work withouth problems on 0.7.5. I am reluctant to upgrade
incase there is some incompatibillity

If this comes back from service start very fast, then typically you have 
a errors in your config file. Mostly paths to files. But, this you can 
only see on command line. First, you should start colinux-daemon.exe 
with same config file from command prompt, before you will install it as 
service.

Check your Windows "Eventlog". But you will it only see, if coLinux 
tryed to start some.

More details about service start process you can see with the integrated 
debug. Follow these steps:

1. Run this command line in a separate Windows prompt (on CMD.EXE):

    colinux-debug-daemon.exe -d -p -s prints=31,misc=31 -f debug.xml

2. Than start the service again:

    net start Colinux

3. Stop the debugger (colinux-debug-daemon) with key CTRL-C.

4. Open the file debug.xml with Explorer or with Notepad and locate the 
error.
