How to typically start kestrel on windows... in simple steps.

[nutharsh]

Everyone can see from the below output that, i am inside the kestrel folder. i have tried with below set of commands... no one seems to have worked for me. Please let me know the right way or do we need a different kind of build for kestrel on windows...?

java -Dstage=developement -jar kestrel-2.1.0.jar java -Dstage=developement -cp config -jar kestrel-2.1.0.jar java -Dstage=developement -cp config;kestrel-2.1.0.jar -jar kestrel-2.1.0.jar

I got the right command to start the kestrel server on windows.

It's...

java -jar ./kestrel-.jar

where ./before the jar file name is very important

Thanks for the tip, for me i had to include -Dstage param to make it work.

java -Dstage=development -jar ./kestrel_2.9.1-2.2.0.jar

apart from obviously changing the paths in the config file also make sure the logger is setup correctly since Policy.SigHup is not supported on windows. I am using Policy.Hourly instead. Policy.Never as in the development.config might not be practical for actual installations.
