Resolving FileZilla Server failed to start due to path error

Problem background

I as a configuration of countless server environment, the server configuration is also known, whether in the Linux platform or win platform are more familiar with, But this time, when configuring a win2003 server for a friend, a problem has been encountered: there are no problems with the prior configuration of IIS and PHP and MySQL and Zend. In response to the needs of friends, he said that the FTP service want to use FileZilla server This software, I also do, on the Internet to download a green version of the compression package, and then run directly on this, very normal, the client can also be normal connection. But the problem is that he restarted the server and found that there was a problem, that is, as shown in the picture:

Meaning is not connected to the server, I checked some of the information on the Internet, maybe it is not the problem caused by everyone, perhaps we write wrong, can not solve the problem, and then have their own analysis of the process of resolution.

Problem analysis

Actually encountered such a problem, I would naturally think that the FTP service with a service did not start, and found the following problems:

1, in the system services to see a service name of FileZilla Server FTP server does not start the service:

2, but found that this service is started, but the problem is that there is no response manual start, error prompted to "Error 3: The system can not find the specified path"

3, point to open the service properties, found that the path of the executable file is really a problem

Through the analysis above, with my own experience, I can draw the question because I was the first time in order to save trouble directly in the compression package directly run FileZilla FTP service, so the system to write the file to memory, and reflected in a temp folder, and when the server restarted, This temp is also lost with the loss of content in memory, and it is natural that the FTP service cannot be performed. So the problem now is to modify the path of the error.

Problem solving

Many people may not know how to modify the path of the executable file in the service, because it cannot be modified in this property, I would like to tell you that in fact, in the register can be modified, of course, there may be a better way, but I have been so modified.

1, the operation of the input regedit, open the registry, in [Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesfilezilla server to find this path, that is, FileZilla path, A key name is "ImagePath", you can also take advantage of the registry's own search function, find the path you want to modify, and click on the key to view the information, found that the original path.

2, now can be modified to the correct path, such as the correct path here is "D:websever Tpfilezilla server.exe". Then OK, and close Registry Editor.

3, back to the system Services list, restart the service, found that the FileZilla server FTP Server service can be started normally;

4, rerun FileZilla server, found that the server can be properly connected with the FTP client remote connection.

At this point, the FileZilla server could not start the problem resolution because of a path error.

Summarize

Although there are very rich information on the internet can let me to refer to, but I may appear in the Internet many new problems, alone with other people's experience is difficult to directly solve, we need to combine a lot of other programs, and then through their own correct analysis, and to brave try, This way you might be able to create new methods or more convenient ways.
