cannot run POPFile with cygrunsrv anymore

[dAniel hAhler]

Hello cygwin-list,

I'm getting nuts on this.

I want to use cygrunsrv to run POPFile (EMail Classification, Perl) as
a service. I managed to do so, but did a clean install of my XP
and now I don't get it anymore to work.

Tried it first with the old cygwin directory and then did a fresh
install of cygwin to a new directory (d:\cygwin - the old one was
renamed to d:\cygwin.old).

I install the service this way:
$ cygrunsrv -I popfile -p /cygdrive/d/Programme/POPFile.perl/popfile.pl -c /cygdrive/d/Programme/POPFile.perl/ -o

But starting results in:
$ cygrunsrv -S popfile
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: Der Dienst wurde nicht gestartet.

Then there will be the directory \var\log created in root of C: (!)
with an empty popfile.log (0 byte).


If I install the service with my username the calling of the service
seems to be ok, but POPFile fails on missing BerkeleyDB.pm.

I managed to get this with CSPAN (or sth like that) on the old cygwin
installation (it was put into
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int).
But as this CSPAN thingy was a mess I would rather use BerkeleyDB from
the cygwin-setup package, what I tried by installing the 4.1
package(s), but no BerkeleyDB.pm anywhere..

So this is actually two problems:
 - SYSTEM account seems to be broken
 and
 - can I get the required BerkeleyDB files from the cygwin
 distribution?

'-------------------

In /etc/profile I put
  HOME=/home/$USER
just after setting of USER (USER="`id -un`"  + EXPORT)

XP's eventlog says:
PID 2884 : starting service `popfile' failed: execv: 255, error 255.

Probably the SYSTEM account has the same problem with starting POPFile
(missing BerkeleyDB) _plus_ some weird home directory setting.. hmm?

I could provide more debug info, but as cygwin (and *nix) is quite new
to me, I dunno what..

Please enlighten me.
