YouTrack Windows service then starts

Question

I installed YouTrack as a Windows service in the same field as TeamCity. TeamCity works fine, but the YouTrack window service stops as soon as it starts.

Can someone point me to the log files for youTrack, or has anyone else tried this? I could not find anything on Google.

I installed YouTrack using this article: http://blog.endjin.com/2010/11/a-step-by-step-guide-to-hosting-youtrack-in-iis-7/

although I didn’t even get into the IIS part. I tried both the stable version and the latest EAP build.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Most likely, the port you have chosen is already being used by some other application, check the YouTrack logs for more information, they are located in the installation directory, for example:

c:\Program Files (x86)\YouTrack\logs 

Please note that if you run TeamCity on one computer, at least one other port (with the exception of the default HTTP port) may conflict, edit conf\server.xml :

 <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> 

TeamCity Tomcat most likely uses the same shutdown port, so you need to change it. Change other conflicting ports if you find them in the logs.
