How can I run 64bit HyperService with 32bit UniGUI EXE in different folders

[Alex S]

Hi

I have developed a 32bit UniGUI EXE app running as nodes on the 64bit HyperService. I prefer to leave the nodes at 32bit for various reasons and dependencies.

For SSL Support, HyperServiceneeds to find the 64bit edition of the OpenSSL libraries (libeay32.dll & ssleay32.dll).

My 32bit UnGUI app uses the 32bit  libpq.dll library to talk to PostgreSQL. However libpq.dll needs to find the 32bit edition of the same OpenSSL libararies.

Having both the 32bit & 64bit OpenSSL libraries in the same startup folder is not possible, as they have the same filenames. I can put the OpenSSL libraries on a search path or in the respective Windows\System32 folders, and all works fine.

For easier deployment, ideally I want the 64bit HyperService.exe and  its config files in one folder (say x64) and the 32bit UniGui.Dll in another folder (say x86). I was hoping setting the "server_root" option in hyper_service.cfg would allow me to do this, but it does not work.

So my question:
Is there a way to start HyperService.exe in a different folder to the UniGUI.exe?

Thanks

Hi,

When SSL is handled by HyperServer you don't need to enable SSL in your nodes.

Regarding folders, HyperServer looks for the node EXE files in the current directory. A setup with nodes in different folders is not tested yet.
