Server won't start on windows 10 after working fine.

BernieG

For whatever reason, Repetier Server service refuse to start. It has been working fine for days before.

here is the error in Windows events log:

Sorry it's in French, but error numbers are easy to translate.... :-)
I tried rebooting, re-installing, same. No ideas what to do next!

Thanks for your help,
Bernard

Sorry, forgot to say: as the version is not displayed, I should have said it's with the last one: 0.80.3

All data and databases are stored inside C:\ProgramData\Repetier-Server and since it worked before, I assume a file is corrupted causing the crash. So what you first should do is stop server, rename folder and start server. Now I assume it will work as before.

If it now works, I would really like to know which corruption the problem causes. So you could stop server and add parts of the renamed folder to the new created folder and restart to test. I would start by adding database directory bag, so you have your old license data etc back after the restart.

Next turn configs and then the printer folder parts.

At some point it will not start any more and then you know one of the files added causes the crash.

If you look int the log/server.log file you might maybe reduce the search as server logs it's steps and seeing how far it comes might also narrow the problem. In any case should renaming and restarting folder make it work again.

In between, I installed the previous version, hoping it would work, but it's the same. So I will re-install 0.80.3, and start doing what you suggest. I already made a backup of that directory, so I guess I could just remove it, and re-add old files from my backup, one after the other.

BernieG

It works after re-installing 0.80.3. So now I am starting to add parts, will let you know how it goes.

BernieG

OK, I uploaded my printer XML file, after having copied the "printer" folder entirely, and it works, with all my models already in the server, so now I am going to try if everything is OK between Host, server, and printer. I'll add other parts later, slowly. Now that it works, I am a bit reluctant to break everything again....

Thanks for your help, and a great suit of softwares...

BernieG

Well, I just printed ONE model, and the server stopped after it was done! Can't restart.

BernieG

Removed all models from the folder, it restarted; Does it update the database from there? I'll continue to update you on what is happening, as I really want it to be reliable.

BernieG

The server stopped after ONE print! I am going to send you the GCode of that print, no idea if it is linked or not.

Here is the last part on the server.log; if it can help you to see what's going on...

Log only shows that you wanted to make a timelapse but webcam was not reachable. Everything else there was ok.

Important: Always stop server before adding/changing files manually. Otherwise it might get confused or write old data etc.

On restart all databases not present get replaced by new ones, but of course empty.

For you of course with different printers. But from the progress there I could see how far it goes and if it happens while loading the database or scanning the printer folders for gcodes present. Especiall in models/jobs folde rof printer a defect .gin file was able to cause troubles. Next release will autofix defect .gin files. You could delete them before starting as they would get rebuild on startup then.
