how to configure a rails app (redmine) to run as a service on windows?

Question

I\'m using redmine as a ticket manager, and I\'d like to configure it to be run automatically when windows starts up.

How can I configure it to be run as a service?<

Answer 1

Hope this will help to anyone. I defined the windows service that starts the redmine with the thin server.

Use http://nssm.cc/usage for windows service creation. Set the path to ruby.exe, your redmine's working directory and define the starting parameters:

Path: C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.3.3\bin\ruby.exe
Startup directory: C:\Program Files\redmine-3.4.6
Arguments: C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.3.3\bin\thin start -e production -p 3000
