Mercury service - I got owned

[Etdashou]

Hello all,

I had a discussion with one of you guys that help us: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=37724

It was very nice of you.

I tried to install 1.7.2 so I could have Mercury and install as a service. Everything was perfect and all files were there for it (install_as_services.bat or something like that).

But life is life, and our wikipedia with all his extension is not very happy with php 5.3. So I decided to go with Xampp 1.7.1 with php 5.2.
But now, in XAMPP 1.7.1, their is NO file .bat to install mercury as a service and in the XAMPP panel the SRV checkbox is greyed out...

I admit I need your help here. Is there something I did wrong?
BTW, I installed XAMPP 1.7.1 (Basic package) if this can help.

Thank you all.

There is the content of mercury_installservice.bat that came with XAMPP 1.7.2

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF & SETLOCAL
PUSHD %~dp0
CD ..

ECHO Installing Mercury as a service
xampp_cli.exe installservice mercury

IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 (
    ECHO Now we start Mercury :)
    xampp_cli.exe startservice mercury
)

POPD
PAUSE


Can I use this on 1.7.1.... ?

Thank you
