Pow (37signals) doesn't start at start up


I am using the POW server for my rails application. However, it doesn't start on boot. I have to reinstall it every time. I have tried everything in the troubleshooting guide. Any ideas on where to look next?


Solution

  • It's kicked off by a launcher script, so if that's missing or not installed you're not going to have much luck. Have you tried going through the source install process and do the last step:

    launchctl load -Fw "$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/cx.pow.powd.plist"
    

    If that file is missing or not loading properly that could be your problem.
