Solve the problem that FileZilla Server cannot be started due to a path error.

Problem background

As a person who configures countless server environments, I have some knowledge about server configurations, both on the linux and Windows platforms, however, this time, I encountered a problem when I helped a friend configure the win2003 server: the commonly used software such as IIS, PHP, MySQL, and zend had no problems. In response to a friend's needs, he said that the FTP service wanted to use the FileZilla Server software, so I did it. I downloaded a green version of the compressed package online and then ran it directly, normally, the client can also be connected normally. But the problem is that after he restarts the server once, he finds the problem. The result is:

　　

 

This means that I cannot connect to the server. I have checked some information on the Internet. Maybe this is not what we are talking about. Maybe it is something wrong that cannot solve this problem, so I had my own analysis and solution process.

Problem Analysis

In fact, when I encountered such a problem, I naturally thought that a service with the FTP service was not started, so I found the following problems:

1. In the system service, a service named FileZilla Server FTP server is not started:

　　

 

2. However, the service is self-started, but the problem is that it does not respond when it is started manually. The error message is "error 3: The system cannot find the specified path"

　　

 

3. Click the service attribute to find that the path of the executable file is still true.

　　

 

Through the above analysis, I can use my own experience to solve this problem because I ran FileZilla's FTP service directly in the compressed package for the first time, therefore, the system writes the file to the memory and reflects it to a Temp folder. After the server is restarted, the Temp will be lost as the content is lost in the memory, naturally, the FTP service cannot be executed. Therefore, the problem 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 attribute. Here I want to tell you that it can be modified in the registry, of course there may be a better way, but I have modified it like this.

1. Enter regedit in the running process, open the registry, and find this path on the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesFileZilla Server, that is, the FileZilla path. The one-click name is "ImagePath ", you can also use the search function provided by the Registry to find the path you want to modify. Click this key name to view the information and find that it is the original path.

　　

 

2. Now you can change it to the correct path. For example, the correct path here is "D: websever tpFileZilla server.exe ". Click OK and close the registry editor.

　　

 

3. Return to the System Service list and restart the service. The FileZilla Server FTP server service can be started normally;

　　

 

4. Run FileZilla Server again and find that you can connect to the Server normally and remotely connect to the Server using an FTP client.

　　

 

At this point, the FileZilla Server cannot be started because of a path error.

Summary

Although there is a wealth of information on the Internet for my reference, there may be many new problems on the Internet. It is difficult to solve them directly by the experience of others, we need to combine a lot of other solutions, analyze them correctly, and try it bravely. In this way, you may be able to create new methods or more convenient methods.
