But I think my problem is a different one. There is no problem with the permissions. The problem is that the PATH to plugins is not found, and as I said, I have a strong feeling that it has got to do in which directory the windows mattermost service is running.
It is running on …/bin and according to a few other threads I read it would be better if the executing directory would be the parent to …/bin
a) I am not entirely sure
b) If I am right, how can I change the service settings? Is there a parameter that could fix it?
Thank you again for answering. The link you sent is indeed very helpful setting up on IIS and Windows in the first place.
Unfortunately the section of PATH you highlighted has nothing to do with the execution path the windows mattermost service is running in.
As I said - in it is still only an assumption - I think one would have to supply a parameter to the windows mattermost service (or there already is and I haven’t found out)
As I understand is that plugins are in an quite an early stage and it will be figured out in a future version.
I think if you change the start-up directory for the service to c:\mattermost it should work. From here, you should be able to do nssm set mattermost AppDirectory c:\mattermost. If that works, we’ll need to update the documentation to reflect that
