Script not running - Windows

[Bart]

Hi,
I almost configured this monster but there is one thing I stuck with. Script won’t start from page, neither automaticaly or hitting “Start script” button. Script works fine only when I start it manually in command line and all works fine, website can see runnung script and its communicating with page and device correctly.
When script is not lunch manually page trying lunch script using some php (I can see socketmessage.php activity, it returns “Couldn’t write to socket: [10061]…” every 5 seconds.
I’m running Windows 7, WAMP with Apache 2.4.9, Python 2.7.10 and BrewPi Spark 0.2.10
Please help

Starting the script is managed by cron on Linux. A cron job checks every minute whether the script should be running and if it isn’t it is started. A file in the web dir (do_not_run_brewpi) is used as a flag.
On Windows, this is not available.

Regarding the socket connection, please see this post:

Some more notes for running on Windows: I was getting "permission denied" errors when the script tried to access the uploaded hex files. This is because c:/wamp/tmp did not exist, so the default Windows temp directory was used. The uploaded file inherited permissions from the temp directory and was not readable by a normal user account. Creating the directory c:/wamp/tmp and giving normal users permission for that dir fixed the issue. Also add the following lines to your <script dir>/setting…

The script and web interface should default to using a socket connection.
