== HG-SERVICE ==

HgService is a windows service wrapper for hg mercurial.
After installing HgService you can run hg mercurial repository as a windows service instead of running "[[hgserve|hg serve]]" in a command prompt.

http://bitbucket.org/andrearicossa/hgservice/

Install instructions:
 1. install hg mercurial on the server
 2. create a repository using hg init
 3. download the hgservice project from bitbutcket (http://bitbucket.org/andrearicossa/hgservice/). Run msi or exe that you will find in the project bin folder.
 4. modify the .config file presents in the install folder (all the setting keys could be empty):
  * 	''Command''''''Line'' 		the program to run (by default is hg.exe)
  *	''Command''''''Line''''''Arguments''	the hg commands or options. eg. "serve --web-conf .\web.config -A c:\logs\access.log -E c:\logs\error.log"
  *	''Working''''''Directory'' 	the repository folder, if it's not specified it takes the install directory

This example configuration will start mercurial web server on port 8000, and server out the repository at "c:\path\to\repository", allowing pull and push.
<<FootNote(Don't put this configuration on a internet facing server.)>>
<<FootNote(The local service account will need write access to "c:\logs" and "c:\path\to\repository".)>>
