So much explaining and still it did not work. Today i installed a new server, no active dir, no IIS started, no Apache, SQL, PHP or what. Even in the services service i copied the start line c:\Program Files\Vibe Streamer\vibestreamer.exe in start - run and it started. But when i try to start it from services it gives me the error {could not start the vibestreamer service on local computer. Error 1053 - and more bla}
Microsoft start blabbering about running interact with desktop, wich i did, several times already before when this whole operation didn't work either....
So, is it to hard to make vibestreamer standard as a installed service? it would make things like these much better.

Thank you very very very very much.

I have found another way to get vibestreamer going as a system service with no users logged on.

Its not ideal as there is no access to the gui aside from the http side.

Steps are simple.

Create a user account on the machine you are running the streamer on, You dont have to but this will help keep the machine secure should a security breach be found.

Create a new sheduled task to start when windows starts / powers on.

Give it the vibestreamer.exe file to run, Go into advanced and disable the 72h stop options.

Then edit the security permitions on all sensitive folders in the system for additional security. Run the task and you should get a message informing the new user account has been granted service log on rights. This will prevent any access rights from the vibeserver.exe thread. Deny security for sensitive folders gives an extra layer of protection.

Reboot machine and though not visible the streamer should be running on your configured port.

Hope this is of help though has most likely been done before. If it is usefull I will create a step by step to help less technical users.

All the best Smile

Just a note, there are different versions of these utilities for XP and Windows Server 2003. I tried the files in the original post and the service would not start. I found a link somewhere to a different resource kit specific to Server 2003, followed the directions with the new utilities, and it worked perfect.

The right course would be then: Show us the info where you got that.... Smile

Hi here,

As i promised i reïnstalled a new and fresh server without any pooha! and did step-by-step what mp3maniac summoned Idea

And it worked this time as a charm, just like all the other happy people.

I'm thinking of a script that you can run after VS is installed, letting it install as a service.... Anyone that handy with writing a simple scriptfile, daring to try that?
I'm willing to try but i have also gained through my move, a license problem on my mailserver, and that is top priority now so, can't do the trying right away.

Gentlemen, Thank you!

That said i came upon a few minor problems when i turned this to the production environment with Active Directory.
The network path to the Netware server was gone. In Windows 2003 server My computer, i saw all the available networkdrives, when i started remote VS i could log in but not hearing any song. Turning back to the server i saw that the maps i shared were empty. Resulting in adding or edit the shares. I saw only the A, C and D drives, no networkdrive. When i browsed to my network neighbourhood, i could add the folder after logging again in my edirectory.
Do you still follow me?
So, i did and now i am trying to hear a song or two...
Unfortunately when Windows restarts, it needs the authentication issue with the Netware server, and that my friends is not possible without intervention from a user.
So this service for Vibestreamer.... DOES NOT WORK FOR ME! Mad

YET!

So if i have a very large disk in my Windows Server, and put all my music there, and let VS point in that direction, it can work.

It was certainly worth trying.

Hello Anne,

Using VS as a service is the way to go but as you can see, mapped drives are only available when a user is logged on. You need a local file store for VS to access when no one is logged in.

Sorry but that is the nature of the beast.

In response to many posts about setting up VS to run as a service. I wrote a little app that should help. Download and install VAAS (VibeStreamer As A Service) and follow the directions.

Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/g5mimgumxmo/VAASsetup.exe

Using this I can get VS setup as a service in less than 5 minutes. This obviously does not include any file indexing. It should simplify the setup for all of the Vibe Streamer lovers out there.

I am releasing it as freeware with the approriate licensing. Hope it helps everyone.

Hi rkillcrazy

I have tested VAAS on 32 bit Windows XP/2003 and was written primarily for that. I have also tested it on 32 bit Windows Vista and 7 and if you disable UAC it should work. I don't have 64 bit versions of Windows or Windows 2008 available to me so I cannot say for sure what will happen.

Should you need to run Vibe Streamer in Windows 7(already tested and currently running) as a service here is the necessary application that will surely make Vibe Streamer to run as a service:

Since that application was made to work in Win XP and myself tested in Win 7, only I am very sure will certainly work in Xp with no glitch. I personally didn't tested it in XP but like I said I'm pretty sure that works flawlessly.
