I am unable to install any part of XAMPP as a service( apache, mySql, FileZilla )
I am only interested in FileZilla, since apache and mysql do not need to be installed as services to start. But attempts to install any xampp service fails.
I am using WinXP Pro, XAMPP 1.7.0, and am logged in as an admin.
I have verified that I have permission to install services using the sc.exe tool (part of NT). Plus there are other services installed as part of other programs (ATI, GoogleUpdater, etc). I would be able to install filezilla this way, if I only knew the arguments used, and I am afraid of missing something. Also, this would not help explain why it fails to work in the first place.
I have been unable to install any XAMPP related service with both 1.7.0 and 1.6.8-Lite (tested first) and additionally FileZilla's standalone installer (not downloaded as part of XAMPP.)
I have tried using the XAC to install, and the FileZilla Server.exe through command line. I was given the option to "Install Service" - yes. "Autostart Service" - yes. Never gets to to "Start Service"...
No events in System event viewer. Apache logs empty. The errors I see in command line:
- using apache_installservice.bat (OS 1726) RPC failed: failed to create winnt service profile.
once saw another error related to FilZilla and RPC calls...
EDIT: CreateService Failed: The Remote Procedure Call Failed.
What else should I check?
