Starting server on Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When trying to follow instructions in section 3.1 of the manual I found:

1. I had to a) either put the "aspen" script somewhere I could find it
(i.e. in a directory my path), or b) type the full path. (This is a manual
issue, mainly)

2. Rename the aspen file to "do_aspen.py" -- #!... doesn't work on Windows
so you can't use aspen.bat, and you can't call it aspen.py because then
that's what's looked at for the import (so "main()" isn't found, of course).

Making a real aspen.bat works too, containing the line...

  python "C:\Utilities\Python25\Scripts\aspen"

(or whatever the path to 'aspen' is)

OK, the batch file isn't quite that simple -- I should have read further, and 
noticed
that aspen can take parameters. :-)

Thanks for the post and glad you figured it out. Aspen isn't the most friendly 
on
Windows although I have used it on that platform. Eventually we need Windows
service/log integration and a nifty installer.
