May I ask why you want to run mangos as a service? It's not a simple process and you need to have above average skills and knowlage of server 2003.

To set a program as a service is all done through the registry if your good with regedit you can do it all through there.
If your not good with regedit you can use a comand line program called sc.exe its in the resource kit. To use the sc.exe go to link below for details.

Make sure that when you set up the services that you make the realmd.exe a dependent of the mangosd.exe so it makes sure the realmd.exe is running before trying to run the mangosd.exe

Hi i started with the service for mangosd but it fails some how.
this is what i did so far,
Run SrvInstw.exe
Check Install Service radio box, click Next
Check Local Machine radio box, click Next
Enter the name for your service, click Next Mangosd
Click Browse and select Mangosd.exe
Click Service is its own Process radio box, click Next
Select what user account you want this service to run under. If this service is to have its UI, check the Allow Service to Interact with Desktop checkbox. Normally the services run under System Account
Click Finish. But you are not finished just yet
Open RegEdit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
Locate the service you just created in the Services branch, click on it.
Create a new key called Parameters
Click on Parameters and create a new string value called Application
Double-click on Application and set it equal to the full path of your VB executable (e.g. c:\wowserver\mangosd.exe)
Now go to Services applet and you can start your service.then i get an error says:
error 1503 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashionanyone ideas?

Did you set reald.exe as a service and make it a dependent of the mangod.exe?

ok
first error:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the mangosd service to connect.
windows help says
Verify that the service is configured correctly. --> don't know
Verify that the system is in a healthy state, for example, it is not running low on resources. no it isn't checked that also on another pc with plenty more resources
i tried to load another program same way its tries to start the i see the interface of the program than i closes again. memory and stuff stays ok. so it must be the configuration??Review the error information displayed in the message.
Verify that the service password has not expired. --> no all the right access
Verify that the service is in the correct location. --> c:\wowserver\mangosd.exe yes is right
Verify that the service is not infected with a virus.
To display the WIN32_EXIT_CODE error that SCM encountered when trying to start the program, at the command prompt, type
sc query service name
The information displayed can help you troubleshoot possible causes for the error.
If the WIN32_EXIT_CODE is zero, then SCM did not attempt to start the service because the error was detected first. --->The error code is zero!!!!
anyone ideas(A)
?

Did you try running it under the administrator's account? Are you running the server as a domain controller?
Posted 2 years ago » Permalink

yes tried running as an admin no it isn't a domain server

Could you use regedit and show me the content and values that are in the realmd and mangosd services registry so I can see whats going on.

I found a post out at mangos project about running mangos as a service.
From what I'm uderstanding in the post there is that some configuration changes need to be made to the mangos core to get it to run as a service.
That also means that it needs to be compiled with those changes.Posted 1 year ago » Permalink

hmmm ok but the source of the reaper mangos project isn't avaible is it??

Mangos project is open source you can pull it down and modify it all you want you just have to compile it to run it. Reaper mangos is just a repack for thoughs who don't want to take the time to learn how to compile there selfs.

Posts: 483you can try these if you want to set up mangos to be installed as windows service
note: copy paste from my post at http://www.reaper-x.com/2008/03/23/reaper-mangos-5472-easy-wow-private-server-for-world-of-warcraft-233/
Set up Mangos as Windows Service:
In order to set up mangos to run as service (windows), all you have to do is just :
1. Open Command Prompt
2. Change directory to where mangosd.exe and realmd.exe can be found (for example C:\ReaperMangos5472) by typing :
cd C:\ReaperMangos5472
or
cd /d C:\ReaperMangos5472
3. and then to install the realmd.exe and mangosd.exe as service, you need to type these:
mangosd.exe -s install
realmd.exe -s installto install it as windows service … or type …
mangosd.exe -s uninstall
realmd.exe -s uninstallto uninstall / remove it from windows service
OR if you prefer a more direct way of doing it … you can type:
C:\ReaperMangos5472\mangosd.exe -s install / -s uninstall
directly without changing directory first

Works like a charm for both mangos and realmd executables!

Addendum to above statement...
While setting them as a service will make them autorestart when your machine boots, once you log into the machine, if you log out the services will stop. It doesn't appear that you can make them continue if you log out but don't power off.
Anyone see different behavior? I'm running this on a Win 2003 server.

Posts: 23Hi ppl! just got curious I was trying out your tips on, setting mangos as a service, i did the command prompt syntax, i did see a confirmation installed sucessfully, the I restart my notebook to see if all works. wahhh! T_T It did not auto start and I check my services via MSCONIFG to verify and I didn't see any mangosd & realmd or anything similar running...
my system is a win vista 32-bit, my mangos version is 6245_SD2_747, or as the post above me sayz, tis only applicable on 5472?and not newer versions?? (*sob...*)
thx for the reponse ^_^ (*cheers*)

well heres the thing.
since mangos takes so long to start up.
the service thinks it can't start up.
thats why realmd works, because it takes less than a second to start.
mangos cant really work as a service.
i also have vista
i have realmd as a service.
heres what i did.
i opened a command prompt.
did the command to get to where realmd is located. eg(cd C:/reaper)
so now it says "C:/reaper"
then i did "realmd.exe -s install"
that installs it.
then i go to services in the control panel.
find the realmd service, (its named MaNGOS realmd service)
i went to the properties of it
i have it under automatic start(delayed)
only because, i noticed its actually quicker and it actually works when its on delayed start.
i have no idea why, but it does work.
and mangos just takes to long to work as a service.
so it wont work, at least on vista, i know that.i hoped this helped.
