i have a problem to stop the program, make a update, and restart the program.
i use the HTTPserver on Port 8080 with automated start option for the index.exe

i have everything ready to make automated updates for my software
i call from php a batch. that call an powerscript.
then i make the StopMyHTTPServer
then i make the StopMyApp

the program closed from the hescript
the powerscript starts to work

The powerscript stops the service, if one.
copy the new version over the old version
start service, if one
restart the program (index.exe new version)

But i get an error. everything i try. i get the same Error.
the new version starts, but i get the Error and the http server did not work.

Error Message 1: Could not bind socket
Eroor Message 2: Could not start the external HTTP server

The new index.exe starts an run.
But no HTTP server.
And i need the HTTP Server

procedure StopMyHTTPServer;
begin
// Stops the HTTP server
StopHTTPServer;
end;

procedure StopMyApp;
begin
// Stops the App
ExitPublication;
end;

You should avoid using port 8080 because it is reserved by servers such as IIS on Windows. Moreover, some antivirus will classify your EXE file as malware just by using this common port.
Please try with another port to see if the error persists.
 
Hi! Did you manage to solve the update issue? I did it via bat, but the first launch always hangs on Just a moment, please, the second one is successful.

I did it with powerscript.
The application run as service and intranet server.

Can you share an example?
Also sometimes there is an error when loading after an update "Could not bind socket" and "Could not start the external HTTP server".
