Dear All,
This is one of the rather vague questions everybody (rightfully) hates, but if it's a generic problem somebody had encountered in the past, I'd assume he can spot the match.
I'm using Python 2.5, Twisted 8.1, web2 and its wsgi module -- under Win32.
Everything works like a charm when run as a normal application, but when running as a Win32 service using the win32service and win32serviceutil modules, spurious HTTP errors 500 are generated.
I ran across something vaguely similar developing a server to run as a service. What I found out whas that win32serviceutil runs the server in its own directory, rather than the Python script's directory; my server looks for files in its own directory. I wound up using a registry setting to record the directory, and having the server use it to do a chdir. This may have nothing to do with your problem, but FWIW... -- Don Dwiggins Advanced Publishing Technology
