Windows Services

RonnieDay

I have managed to get the ice registry and nodes up and running for an ice grid. using the commandline icegridnode and icegridregistry commands.

However when I try and run the services as windows services I keep getting the error message:

exception occurred while initializing a communicator:
FreezeDB.cpp:134: Ice::PluginInitializationException:
plug-in initialization failed: property `IceGrid.Registry.Data' is not set

even though this property is set in my config:

IceGrid.InstanceName=DemoIceGrid

# Registry properties
IceGrid.Registry.Client.Endpoints=default -p 4061
IceGrid.Registry.Server.Endpoints=default
IceGrid.Registry.Internal.Endpoints=default

IceGrid.Registry.Data=D:\SVN\UserControlService\registerytest
IceGrid.Registry.PermissionsVerifier=DemoIceGrid/NullPermissionsVerifier
IceGrid.Registry.AdminPermissionsVerifier=DemoIceGrid/NullPermissionsVerifier
IceGrid.Registry.SSLPermissionsVerifier=DemoIceGrid/NullSSLPermissionsVerifier
IceGrid.Registry.AdminSSLPermissionsVerifier=DemoIceGrid/NullSSLPermissionsVerifier

IceGridAdmin.Username=foo
IceGridAdmin.Password=bar
#IceGrid.Registry.ReplicaName=Master

# Enable tracing of registry activity
IceGrid.Registry.Trace.Adapter=1
IceGrid.Registry.Trace.Locator=1
IceGrid.Registry.Trace.Application=1
IceGrid.Registry.Trace.Node=1
IceGrid.Registry.Trace.Object=1
IceGrid.Registry.Trace.Server=1

# Redirect output to a file to help trace registry and node problems.
Ice.StdOut=c:\icegrid\stdout.log
Ice.StdErr=c:\icegrid\stderr.log

Am I doing something wrong ?

Hi Ronnie,

Welcome to our forums!

It's always helpful to provide details on your environment, like the version of Windows and Ice you're using. If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, and this config file is in a Windows protected directory (such as C:\Program Files), your icegridregistry is not reading the file you're editing.

Are you using iceserviceinstall to install the IceGrid registry as a Windows service? If not, please give it a try...

Also, '\' is the escape character in property values, so you want to write \SVN\UserControlService\registerytest as \\SVN\\UserControlService\\registerytest in this config file.

Best regards,
Bernard
