Parsoid doesnt seem to be starting when Windows boots up. Can anyone tell me where I can find parsoid.log in windows? As I have not been able to find it

Which instructions did you follow for getting Parsoid to work on Windows? Why do you expect it to start up when Windows boots?

And here are some instructions from SO for getting a node.js service like parsoid to run when windows boots: Auto start node.js server on boot. Let me know if they work.

Hey yeh if see my comment below, thats what I did and works perfectly I think

I create a bat which task schedule runs at boot. But since then I have created a windows service with https://github.com/coreybutler/node-windows which seems to be the most stable method I have had work so far. But I still have a different issue, which is that when I go to create a new page on my wiki, it uses the standard editor instead of Visual Editor

Give me a few days and I will, wanna reproduce the steps I took to ensure I get it right but need to find time to do it.
