POUsing NSSM to start a NodeJs process as a windows service is not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I have seen countless articles on how to use NSSM (<a href="http://nssm.cc/" rel="noreferrer">http://nssm.cc/</a>) to start a NodeJS process. </p> <p>So, I have the following simple NodeJS file:</p> <pre><code>var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' }); res.end('<p>Hello World</p>'); }).listen(8000); console.log('Server running on http://localhost:8000/'); </code></pre> <p>I am using this command to install the NodeJS file as a windows service:</p> <blockquote> <p>"C:\Program Files\SimpleNode\nssm.exe" install SimpleNode "C:\Program Files\SimpleNode\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\SimpleNode\simple.js"</p> </blockquote> <p>The service is installed. When I start it I get an error message, the services is in the Paused state and I see the following error in Event Viewer:</p> <blockquote> <p>GetProcessTimes() failed: The handle is invalid.</p> </blockquote> <p>This should be pretty simple. I have tried using a domain account that has local admin rights. I have tried a couple of different port numbers. The app does work correctly when I start it from the command line. </p> <p>MORE NOTES: This is running on 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 server. I have made sure I am running all 64-bit executables for both NSSM and Node. I have also tried using 32-bit executables for both.</p> <p>Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Can someone else replicate this issue?</p>
