Answer 1

Service isn't required to start Gitblit.

On Windows Envrionnement : you can use the batch script gitblit.cmd to start it. But don't forget the configuration's step in the file gitblit.properties (server.httpPort...). After you can access Gitblit with this url http:\localhost:8080

Answer 2

I encountered a similar problem. But I solved as follows:

1. Open installService.cmd with text editor like notepad.
2. In line 12, I changed SET ARCH=amd64 into SET ARCH=x86. (The architecture of my computer is x86.)
3. Run installService.cmd by double-clicking it or run installService in Command Prompt.

Answer 3

CD may not be found .Try to add CD definition:

@REM arch = x86, amd64, or ia32
SET ARCH=amd64
SET CD=E:/gitblit-1.8.0

It may work.
