Running SOS as an application, rather than a service

Post by lbauer » Mon Mar 06, 2006 10:56 am

By default, the SOS Server for 4.1.2 runs as a service. In some cases, it might be useful for the SOS Server to run as an application: when the SOS Server service can't access the VSS database because of a permissions issue, for example.

Running the SOS Server as an application, rather than as a service will bypass any access issues for the account configured to run the SOS Server service.

To run SOS Server 4.x as an application, do this:

at the cmd line type:

Code: Select all

c:\program files\sourceoffsite server> sosservice.exe 1 
Just passing a "1" to the application will allow it to run as an
application.

To stop the SOS Server app, terminate the process in the Task Manager.
