Asking every start Stop server?

[linokoo]

Hello,
Somebody know where to configurate FileZilla to stop asking me if Stop or running the server each time that start the PC.
Thank you for your help.

Simply reinstall and select the desired startup options during setup.

Is it possible to configure this from Filezilla Server.xml?

[botg]

No.

I have two problems.

The first is that I can't identify which options I need to select to change this behaviour.

The second is that I need to be able to do an "unattended" install.

Not possible unattanded. You would have to change the installer script.

I assume that you mean the NSIS script. I'm quite happy changing NSIS scripts, but having looked through it I still don't understand what I would need to set.

I have also run the installer and can see no option that would obviously relate to generating a prompt when the server is stopped or started.

Is it a side effect of some other setting?

It is in a droplist as you run the installer.. "install as service started manually"

From the NSIS script:

Code: Select all

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $R0 "StartupOptions.ini" "Field 2" "State"
  StrCmp $R0 "Do not install as service, start server automatically (not recommended)" Install_Standard_Auto
  DetailPrint "Installing Service..."
  StrCmp $R0 "Install as service, started manually" Install_AsService_Manual

  ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\FileZilla Server.exe" /install auto'
  goto done
 Install_AsService_Manual:
  ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\FileZilla Server.exe" /install'
  goto done

StrCmp $R0 "Install as service, started manually" Install_AsService_Manual (You want this to be true)

To change the default install state:
From StartupOptions.ini

Code: Select all

[Field 2]
Type=Droplist
State=Install as service, started with Windows (default)
ListItems=Install as service, started with Windows (default)|Install as service, started manually|Do not install as service, start server automatically (not recommended)
Left=0
Right=-1
Top=11
Bottom=200

Change "State= ..." to "State= Install as service, started manually"

This is fine, but it doesn't stop the "Question. Stop Server?" prompt from appearing when I try to stop the server.

The way round the problem turns out to be not to use the /start and /stop options at all, but to start and stop the service using

net stop "FileZilla Server FTP server"
net start "FileZilla Server FTP server"

This stops and starts the server with no problem and no unwanted prompts.
