Thanks Paul.
In the Users and Groups control panel I only see Local Users and Groups.
But we've been told NOT to use a local user account ...

[Paul Dennis via 4D_Tech]

I dont have access to server 2016 so cant be sure but my guess is its a
permission issue. Please see 

https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-custom-user-service.html

Do you have the local policy set for the use under which the service is
running and does the user have read and write permission for the install
folder ?.

Hi peeps,
I am still having no luck with this :)

Would anybody be willing to do a screen-share with me to help me figure
this out? I'm happy to pay for your time!

RE: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Stephen J. Orth via 4D_Tech]

I agree with Chuck here...

We never install our OEM system on the C drive, let along in the Program Files 
directory.  We always insist the server hardware be configured as C-Drive for 
Windows, D-Drive for data.

All our systems run as a service, with no special configuration required

Best,


Steve

Re: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Ken Kuehn via 4D_Tech]

Hi Paul, 

I use Inno Setup to create Windows installers for our 4D client and 4D server 
applications, the default install path for the server application is C:\Program 
Files. I normally set the data folder at the root of the C drive. However, the 
application that I support is installed at approximately 500 customer sites 
with various Windows and Mac operating system configurations, so I don’t always 
have access to or control over the environment where our 4D application is 
installed. For Windows Servers we still occasionally see 2008r2, but mainly 
2012 or 2016 Standard, and I am now getting customers asking about support of 
2019 Server. 

In a handful of situations with previous 4D versions I’ve seen instances where 
I needed to specify a logon account (either domain or local admin) to get 4D 
Server to stay running as a Windows service, but since the release of 4D v16 
(we’re currently using 16.4) I have had to setup the service  with s logon 
account so that the service starts and stays running.  If I just select the 
radio button for local system account and start the service, the status will 
change to running, but as soon as I refresh the services window it shows the 
service is not running. Also, checking the box for allow service to interact 
with desktop does not work.  It will show the service is running, but it’s not 
accessible from any 4D Client, local on the same machine or from any other 
workstation on the same local area network. 

In the past week I have run into 2 instances where I have upgraded from a 
previous version of our 4D application running on v13.6 or 15.4 to the 16.4 
version of our application.  The service ran without issue using the local 
system account option for both of those previous 4D versions, but now under 4D 
v16 the application will not run as a service. I’ve tried the local system 
account option, I've tried specifying a local admin account and also a domain 
admin account.  In all instances the server will show it’s running, but as soon 
as I refresh the services window it shows the service is not running. For the 
time being I have both 4D server instances running as an application under a 
local admin account until I can figure something out.

I’m open to any suggestions.

RE: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

What is the file path to the location where you have the exe and data
installed. You can only use c:\\program files for the exe not the data. For
that use c:\\program data or as mentioned install under a user account. In
which case it runs from c:\users\username etc.

RE: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Epperlein, Lutz (agendo) via 4D_Tech]

Pat,

Have a look at the docs:
https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.1/Registering-a-Database-as-a-Service.300-4203714.en.html

They recommend to run the server under an user account, if you want to use 
network shares, printers and so on. 
But we don't install the services this way, we stay at system account yet, and 
don't get any problems.
We don't have experiences with Windows Server 2016 (2012 R2 yet) and we don't 
use the feature of interacting with the desktop. And we are able to connect to 
server with a client from the same machine.

A question: how do you connect the client to the server? Which address do you 
use, localhost, an IP 127.0.0.1 or another IP, a named address? That could lead 
to problems with the firewall. In case you use localhost (or 127.0.0.1), the 
firewall shouldn't be involved AFAIK.

Regards
Lutz

Re: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Ken Kuehn via 4D_Tech]

Randy,

I am have the same issue with 4D Server v16.4 and I’ve made sure that TCP ports 
19812-19814 are open on the Windows firewall for the server. I can get it to 
stay running as a service if I have the interact with desktop box checked, but 
I can’t get a client to connect from the machine where 4D Server is running. 

We have many customers running 4D Server v16.4 on Windows 2016 Standard and the 
only way that I have gotten it to run properly was to enter a specific account 
to log on as. Then the service stays running and I’m able to connect with 4D 
Client on the local machine. 

This behavior with running 4D Server as a service started somewhere in the v16 
builds. 

Thanks,

Ken Kuehn

RE: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Randy Engle via 4D_Tech]

Pat,

Just to make sure:
You've got TCP 19812-19814 ports open in Advanced Windows Firewall inbound 
rules.
Yes?

Thanks Jeff.
I made that change and now the service appears to be running OK.
BUT ... I can't connect to it from a Client. It says Not Responding.  I've only 
tested with a Client running on the same server, but that should work
- never had a problem doing that in the past. Makes no difference if I run the 
Client as Administrator or not.

Do I need to change something else as well?

Thanks!

Re: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

Pretty weird... I didn't have to change anything else, but I never tried 
connecting a client on the server machine while 4D Server was running as a 
service.  

Can you connect from a client over the network? Clients on the server machine 
seem to use an optimized protocol that doesn't involve the network stack.

Re: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

We have 4D Server v17 HF3 set up as a service on Windows Server 2016.  I 
checked the service properties -- the "Log on as:" is set to "Local System 
account" and "Allow Service to interact with desktop" is checked. 

I also have FireDaemon installed to make it easy to bounce into the "session 0" 
user interface if I need to view the 4D Server user interface.

Hi Pat,

I don’t have any experience with running 4D as a Service, but I see that there 
is a Tech Tip from about 10 years ago which mentions having to “Run as 
Administrator”

https://kb.4d.com/assetid=75056

HTH,

Re: Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

I wish 4D could produce an idiot’s guide to setting up 4D Server on Windows 
Server 2016 Standard as a service, especially as a web server.  I am going in 
circles.

Can'r run as a service on Windows 2016

[Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech]

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to set up our 4D app to run as a service
on a Windows server.

The server version is Windows Server 2016 Standard.
If I run the app "As Administrator" it starts up OK and we can connect to
it.

If I don't start it as Administrator, I get a message that the database (or
one of its segments) is locked.
If I try to set it up to run as a service, it doesn't work - in the
Services window, it says it's running, but in the Task Manager it says
Stopped. I'm guessing this is because when it tries to start the service,
it can't because of the locked data file problem.

So, I think the question is: How come it has to run As Administrator? I am
logged on (remotely via MS Remote Desktop) with, supposedly, full admin
privileges. How do I run it as not-administrator?

Thanks!
Pat
