Windows support

[Volox]

Running on windows i keep seeing Launching daemon but nothing happens.
I tried with the json file and manually with pm2 start app.js but with no luck.
Also pm2 list and the other commands give the same result.
I am doing something wrong?

Thanks.

OS: Win 7 x64
node: 0.10.3

Hello, thanks for reporting issues.

PM2 is a production module, who should be mainly used on Linux servers. I haven't tried it on other platforms than Linux.

Feel free to contribute if you want to integrate this compatibility feature !

Thanks

When changed detached: true to false in Satan.launchDaemon daemon forking options got this error:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: spawn Unknown system errno 203
    at errnoException (child_process.js:945:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:736:34)

but cant find what is that 203 error.

I was trying to get pm2 to work on my Windows-based development workstation for testing purposes, but whenever I invoke it with any parameters, I get:

events.js:71
        throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
                       ^
Error: connect EADDRNOTAVAIL
    at errnoException (net.js:770:11)
    at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:761:19)

I tried debugging pm2, but I really didn't get anywhere. What is the execution path after everything in the pm2 file is defined?

We just launched a crowd funding campaign on boutysource for the Windows support:

Hope we will get enough attention for this Windows feature !

Could you try the Windows support:

C:/ $ npm install git://github.com/Unitech/pm2#development -g

Give us your feedback!

[oliversalzburg]

@Unitech Well, it starts our application. Which is more than what I got on the first try with pm2 on Windows ;)

[Unitech]

Good (: Apparently I got a feedback about the PID that is not refreshed on restart ( #777 ) Do you have the same bug?

Thanks

[oliversalzburg]

I'll have to properly test at work during the week and I really have to get more into the specifics of pm2. I'll post if I trip over anything.

@oliversalzburg Thanks! Windows tester are not easy to find these days! (don't ask why...)

I have the same problem on widows server.

I also still have this problem, also after installing the development branch

Try setting PM2_HOME to your C:\Users.pm2 directory (Win Vista/7/8)
Or take a simple one line patch described in this pull: #982
