[Exist-open] Problems running eXist (trunk) as a Windows service

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi eXist list,

To those using eXist 1.3 (i.e. the version currently in development)
in Windows: Could you give me a hand by reporting your experience
starting eXist it as a service?  Here are the steps to follow:

0. These steps assume you're running a recent build of 1.3, i.e.
you've downloaded eXist from its SVN trunk with your favorite SVN
client or directly via:
  http://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/exist/trunk/eXist.tar.gz?view=tar

1. From the command console, cd to the eXist directory, and build the wrapper:
  build.bat -f tools\wrapper\build.xml

2. cd to the wrapper installation directory tools\wrapper\bin and run:
  install.bat

3. start the service:
  Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > eXist > Start

4. see if eXist is running by visiting http://localhost:8080/exist

5. if all is well, let me know; if not, stop the service, and send the
contents of your log:
  tools\wrapper\logs\wrapper.log

My log is below [1], running today's build 8153, on XP SP3 with a
fresh install of the Java JDK, and the environmental variable
JAVA_HOME set to the JDK's location (C:\Program
Files\java\jdk1.6.0_07) in Control Panel > System > Advanced >
Environmental Variables > System variables.

Many thanks for your help,
Joe
