Good morning,

After a testing phase on a basic office workstation, I am trying to validate WAPT in order to continue my tests in a pre-production environment, before I can validate WAPT for my company.

But I'm stuck on a problem for which I haven't found a solution in the forum

Code: Select all

Installing WAPT Server as a service managed by nssm
install waptserver
2020-01-03 09:58:04,226 INFO Register service "WAPTServer" with nssm

Output:Can't open service!
OpenService(): The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

WAPTPostgresql: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.
Error setting parameter "DependOnService" for service "WAPTServer"!

The WAPTNginx service remains paused during installation; I have to change port 80 in the Nginx.conf configuration to be able to start it (even though I don't have any other software/wsus/IIS installed)
Once restarted with a port other than 80 this service starts, but I still get a 504 error on the "WAPT Server URL" line in the console.

I've searched everywhere without success, hence my plea for help

I'm replying to myself in case it's helpful to someone

I launched the command:

Code: Select all

g:\wapt\waptpython.exe g:\wapt\waptserver\winsetup.py -ldebug  install_postgresql -c g:\wapt\conf\waptserver.ini

because I didn't have the service postgresq Present after a normal installation, I restarted the services and miraculously everything is OK in the console...

I can finally move on to the next step!

New problem: I can't connect to the console. I enter the correct password, but I'm redirected to the login screen. And I'm 100% sure it's the password

Code: Select all

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (10013: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions)

However, I did change port 80 to another one :/

Okay, so you really need to read the documentation and not try to ignore it.

You have to install WAPT with the default ports 80/443 (as written in the documentation, otherwise the installation will fail).

I was able to free up port 80, which was being used by Windows PID 4, using the command `net stop http` as administrator.

Then I restarted the console setup
> OK.
I changed port 80,
restarted the WAPT Ginx service,
restarted the console > OK.

That's great...

The nginx configuration that waptserver installs on Windows uses port 80, even though it's not strictly necessary for wapt to function correctly
