Runtime error when installing as service with insufficient priviledges from Chocolatey #365

Open Wirone opened 8 years ago

Wirone commented 8 years ago

I have business laptop without admin account access, but with Chocolatey installed with admin priviledges (yeah, weird). When I run choco install redis-64 it's installed properly, but when I run redis-server --service-install I got HandleServiceCommands: runtime error caught. message=invalid handle passed to constructor.

Problem exists both in Windows' command line and Cygwin's console.

I ended up with installation from msi package with company admins' support, so service is already installed, running and working properly. But I think in that first case message should be different.

Hi @Wirone thank you for posting the issue. I agree, the error message is not user friendly at all, it should give a better indication of the problem that, as you said, it's caused by not having the admin privileges. Thank you.

@enricogior I just tried using the redis-server --service-install command, but hit the same issue...while in a "Run as Administrator" cmd instance--the same one I used to run the choco install redis-64 account in.

Not sure how to get around it. :confused:

Same here- running in a admin command prompt I get this error

C:\Windows\system32>redis-server --service-install [10960] 29 Jan 10:50:58.807 # HandleServiceCommands: system error caught. error code=1073, message = CreateService failed: unknown error

enricogior commented 8 years ago

@BigBlueHat @mattwoberts if you call the redis-server --service-install command without passing a configuration file (i.e redis-server --service-install redis-windows-service.conf) the working directory by default is the folder where the binaries are, therefore the NETWORK SERVICE account needs to have read and write access to the that folder. Since it doesn't have access to the chocolatey lib folder, the command fails. In general, if you need to run redis as a service, is preferable to use the MSI installer.

@enricogior yeah but Chocolatey is great and we'd like to use it! Is there any other way to workaround this?

E.g. I can make it work with:

choco install redis-64
cd C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\redis-64\
redis-server --service-install .\redis.windows-service.conf

Hi @tinchou sorry, I'm not working on this project anymore.

The same error when running it out with the full command containing the config file path:

redis-server --service-install .\redis.windows-service.conf

Anybody knew the solution to this error?
