Setting up CruiseControl.NET

Question

I am trying to configure CruiseControl.NET (1.6)

Installation completes successfully, however I cannot start the actual service.

When I start CCNET.exe, I get a console window that the last thing he writes is: Security initialization.

Starting a service from the service control manager also does not work.

Trying to access localhost / ccnet is not responding.

What am I missing here? I have successfully installed the product in the past, not sure what is wrong this time.

@ lysergic-acid. Even if the main configuration is completed (server / ccnet.config), and you start it from the command line, you still will not see the web panel.

If you are installing on IIS7, the web panel setup process requires steps that are not performed in the CC.Net web panel setup docs in sourceforge.

This CC.Net web dashboard installation page worked for me, which is located on the Confluence site, and not on the forge source site: http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Installing+the+Web+Dashboard

There are features of IIS7 in the comment area (Im assuming part of the problem).

I'm still having problems with the service, so I can’t help you there, but you can definitely launch the web panel without the service while the cmd command line version is running.

Configuring the virtual directory for the web interface may fail. Try using IIS Manager to create the application in the Service folder. I think there is a problem with the installation if you forget to unlock the download, but I did not shake it enough to be sure.

Keep in mind that the web interface and the ccnet service are two completely isolated parts. You should be able to see the web interface even if the ccnet service does not start.

Answer 3

I had problems installing, and IIS was disabled (and therefore did not work), I had to uninstall CruiseControl.NET, start IIS, and then reinstall CC.Net.

Do you have a firewall that blocks ports? The default port is 21234.

You need both the web part and the installed service part to run CC.Net.
