Hi,
I want to avoid changes to httpd.conf installed by apache
(component-rules?).
I thought about the service because I would install my own
httpd.conf in a direcory which I "own".
My installation would be completely isolated (apart from
the ImagePath used by my service): different pages, configs, logs,
...
@Bob:
I checked httpd.conf installed by
apache_2.2.3-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and by
apache_2.0.52-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi.
Both do not use "Include conf.d/*.conf". I could add that
(manually), but I want the MSI not to touch or overwrite the original
httpd.conf. I want to ignore whatever changes made a user to that file and just
use the same ServerRoot in my own httpd.conf to avoid any
conflicts.
So my goal is to follow the component rules AND to
allow more than one site to be installed using the same apache installation
(ServerRoot).
I understand that this can not be done via standard MSI
service table.
I see these choices for me:
- a custom action (dll or using the self-install feature of
Apache.exe).
- add Apache binaries into my MSI (only if I have no other
choice)
- wix (ServiceConfig or ServiceInstall?) will be extended
or someone writes an extension for it (which will use a custem action I
guess)
If I
use the Apache-self-install custom action (as done by the apache-msi), the
service will be installed to run as LocalSystem.
How do
I change the user and password for that service (without using ServiceInstall)?
ServiceConfig does not provide such options.
A
Registry change of HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\*\ObjectName changes
the user, but I don't know how to change the password (seems to be encrypted in
the Security subkey).
Regards,
Mike

From my read of the ServiceInstall table doc in the MSI SDK, it doesn't look like MSI supports that. Specifically: Note that to install this service using the InstallService [sic] table, the KeyPath for this component must be the executable file for the service.
I don't but I'd be interested in encapsulating it in an extension for Apache. It doesn't look like the stock Apache installer supports creating arbitrary services; maybe it's supposed to be driven through changes to httpd.conf? -- sig://boB http://bobs.org |
