If you wish to remove the FairCom DB service from the list of installed Windows Services, the Microsoft general service controller utility, sc.exe, can be used. See the Microsoft website for information about using this command-line utility.

This section identifies possible problems that may be encountered when using FairCom DB as a Windows service, and ways to diagnose and solve them.

If the FairCom DB 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 the FairCom Server service failed to start. Below is the output of a failed startup when starting the FairCom DB service using FairCom’s SCP. The service-specific error is displayed as the “Service Exit” code.
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 FairCom Server service, the corresponding message, and possible causes for each of these errors.
Error Code |
Error Message |
Possible Causes |
|---|---|---|

The FairCom DB settings file is missing. It is required to operate this server. |
FairCom DB service requires a settings file, but it was not found. |
5 |
The current settings file is invalid. |
FairCom DB requires a settings file, and the settings file that was found was not valid. Contact your application developer for assistance. |

Use the Windows Event Viewer to list events reported by the FairCom DB service. Start the Event Viewer and select the Application log option from the Log menu. Events logged by the FairCom DB service have the “Source” field set to the service name (“c‑treeACE Database Engine” or "c-treeEDGE Database Engine" by default). Double-clicking an event displays the event detail (see the following figure, which shows using the Event Viewer to display events logged by the FairCom DB service).

If client applications are unable to connect to the FairCom DB service, verify that FairCom DB service is running (See Displaying the current status of the FairCom DB Service for details).
If the FairCom DB service is running, check the FairCom DB status log file (CTSTATUS.FCS, typically located in the directory in which the FairCom DB executable resides) for the following information:
FairCom’s ctadmn utility (provided with the FairCom Server) is an additional useful tool for verifying whether clients can connect to FairCom DB.

If you are unable to stop the FairCom DB service, check the event log for an error message. Also check for error messages in the FairCom DB status log file (CTSTATUS.FCS, typically located in the directory in which FairCom DB executable resides).
FairCom’s ctadmn utility (provided with the FairCom Server) can also be used to stop the FairCom DB service.
