The CHAPI service should self-install when you run the .MSI installer for CHAPI. If you need to manually install it you can do so via a command line interface.
-This creates the SERVICE only, not the folder. This is good to note when the service needs to be installed to a new drive. Prior to running this, copy the CHAPI folder to the new location. Then run the command as directed below.
Installing the Chapi_ServiceHost Service
The Chapi.Register.exe supports multiple command line options, a list of available options is listed below. In most cases when installing, you'll only need to specify a few of these options. The example below just covers the basics of installing.
- For this scenario we'll assume the following settings
- Chapi Username: chapi
- Chapi Password: Ch@piUser1
- Computer Name where Chapi is Installed: MyServer
- To register the service, Open a command prompt with Administrative level permissions.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyrious\Control\CHAPI\
- Type the following command
chapi.register.exe -i -p=[port #] --username=[computer or domain name\username] --password=[username password]
- Example:
chapi.register.exe -i -p=12556 --username=MyServer\chapi --password=Ch@piUser1
- The CHAPI service will begin the service registration process, once complete you can go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services to verify Chapi_ServiceHost_12556 was created as a service.
