Starting Service - System Error #3 |

"Johnnie Norsworthy" | When installing a database server and trying to set it as a service (under
administrator login) at a client's location, I go the following message: SERVER /INSTALL NET START SERVER System Error #3 starting server I haven't seen this before and was curious what to look for as to the problem. Thanks, Johnnie |

Is your service really name "server"? At least under windows XP there is already a service named server. So net start server tries to start that service from Microsoft. Can you start the service via "Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services"? Bernd |

No, my server name is REMSERVER, I was just trying to be generic in my message. I'll see if I can start the server with administrative tools. Thanks! |

The system cannot find the path specified. I uninstalled the service and then installed it again and it does not appear on the Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services list. Anything else I can look into concerning this error and why it isn't actually installing into the services list? Thanks, Johnnie |

I have noticed that on Win 2003 that browsing to the exe does not seem to work and I get the same error message you got. Just typing in the path seems to do the trick, although I do this directly on the server or via a Terminal Server connection. |

The only thing I can think of is that you're trying to install the service from a non-local drive that cannot be accessed by the System account. You can't do that because network drives are not accessible from the special System account that services run under by default. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I never saw it listed in the services dialog after I did a: REMSERVER /INSTALL I installed another office yesterday and had no problem of this kind, so I don't think my compiled version of the server is the problem. But even given that I am going to try to install the generic DBISAM Server and see if I have the same problem. I am also going to try entering the full path as David suggested. But I can't do it again until Monday morning because the customer will be in the software all day. Thanks, Johnnie |

I think you may be right about the local drive thing because though it is the server and the physical storage is on that machine the drive icons appear like network drives, so there may be an issue with mapping. I'll install the server on the C: drive and see if that does the trick. I am doing everything remotely, and the system is used all day, so it doesn't help that I can't quickly try some things until I get it working. Thanks much. |

Moving the database folder to the C: (local, non-mapped) drive did the trick. I was able to install the service and start it. -Johnnie |
