Winows NT4 server event 7024 error 22

[Claude Willemyns]

We are running databases under FM server 5.5, Windows NT4 sp6 and TCP/IP.

When stopping the Filemaker service for maintenance purpose, I can't restart the service from the control panel and I get following log event:

Event 7024:

"The Filemaker server service terminated with service-specific error 22."

To restart, I'm obliged to reboot the server, and then, FM server starts automatically.

Does anyone know a possible reason of this?

On what HW is that? I saw that on HP

Good morning Anatoli.

Our server is a Compaq Proliant ML370 PIII 933 with 3gb ram.

Also running MS SQLserver 2000 and MS IIS4.

FMserver is running in this configuration since 1 year without problem. From april began the trouble.

:?:??

Hmm, was there some update going on?

In any case, I'll will suggest running FM on different machine with NT or W2k *CLIENT* OS. Not server!

Increase background task to maximum.

That will give you better performance and security.
