Running Live Forms and the Insight Server as Windows Services

...

  1. Extract the NSSM zipfile to a Program Files\nssm directory
  2. Open a command prompt. Run as an administrator

  3. Navigate to the directory under c:\Program Files\nssm\ that contains the nssm.exe file for Windows64 or Windows32

    Code Block
    For example, the path in Windows 7 would be C:\Program Files\nssm\nssm-2.24\win64

  4. Type: nssm install <service name> - Replace <service name> with the name you want to use for the Insight Server service.

    Code Block
    Ex: nssm install insightserver

  5. Browse to the location of the solr.cmd script by clicking on the three dots to the right of the Application Path field.



  6. Click on the solr.cmd file, then click Open.  The Application Path field will populate.

  7. Notice the Startup directory field also populates. REMOVE bin from the Startup directory field. The Startup directory should be: c:\<frevvo-home>\solr-5.4.1\

  8. Enter these Arguments:

    start -f -p 8983

    • the -f option starts the Insight Server in the foreground so NSSM can kill it when it needs to be stopped or started
    • the -p option specifies the port that the Insight Server is running on. The default is 8983. Change 8983 to the port number for your installation if necessary.



  9. Optionally, click the Details tab to specify a Display Name and Description - Ex: Insight Server, Script to Stop/Start Solr5. Notice the Startup type is set to Automatic.

  10. Click the Install service button. A success message displays:



  11. Start the Insight Server service from the Computer Management Services pane.

Change <your server>  to the server name and <your port> to the port the Insight server is running on if they are different than the defaults. Do not include the angle brackets <>.
