Problems starting the c-treeACE Service

If the c-treeACE service fails to start, it returns a service-specific error, and logs a message to the Windows application event log. This information can be used to determine the reason why the c-treeACE Server Service failed to start up. Below is the output of a failed startup when starting the c-treeACE service using FairCom’s SCP. The service-specific error is displayed as the “Service Exit” code.

c:\faircom\bin.svc> ctntinst -start
Starting the c-tree Server service...
c-treeServer start unsuccessful:
Current State: STOPPED
Win32 Exit:    1066
Service Exit:  6
Checkpoint:    0x0
WaitHint:      0x0

The table below shows possible service-specific errors returned by the c-treeACE Server Service, the corresponding message, and possible causes for each of these errors.

Use the Windows Event Viewer to list events reported by the c-treeACE service. Start the Event Viewer and select the Application log option from the Log menu. Events logged by the c-treeACE service have the “Source” field set to the service name (“c-treeACE Database Engine” by default). Double-clicking an event displays the event detail (see the following Figure; Using the Event Viewer to display events logged by the c-treeACE service).
