Hello all:
I have our web application running on a VPS at EasyCGI. I want to make sure that the application starts up automatically and immediately after a server reboot. I've read all that I could find on this forum, but so far nothing is working quite right for me.
1. I tried putting a shortcut to the WAS in the startup folder, but it won't start after a reboot until I connect to the server using Remoted Desktop. As soon as I connect, the WAS starts, but not until then.
2. I tried running it as a service using AlwaysUp. It would run my application, but as I clicked around in it, I would get errors quite often. If I would refresh the page that initially returned an error, it would usually show up fine. (If I remember correctly, they were connection errors. I already uninstalled it, because the performance was definitely unsatisfactory.)
3. I tried running it as a service using FireDaemon. It runs my application fine, except for one critical part. The email_send2() function doesn't work. Or maybe it's the MailEnable server software that I'm using. I'm not sure which. If I run WAS directly, the email works fine.
Are there any other options that someone is using successfully? Or does anyone have any ideas why any of the things I've tried so far don't work properly?
Thanks!
Nathan
