TFTP Server Not Starting

andrew_pangilinan

Hi,

I have an issue where the TFTP Server does not start.  I've gone through all the other solutions listed in previous discussions regarding the TFTP Server not starting and they haven't fixed it.  Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get the TFTP Server started again?

I'm running SolarWinds TFTP Server version 10.9.0.25 on Windows 7 Pro.  Below is the information from the service log.  Thanks!

    According to the logfile posted:

    Cannot open log for source 'SolarWinds TFTP Server'.


    The logfile is created in ~\Documents\Solarwinds\Logging of the user context in which the TFTPServer is launched.

    Verify that the pathname exists, or can be accessed, or see if it can be manually created.


    Also, I notice you've defined the root of a volume as the RootDir for the TFTPServer.

    2014-12-20 21:13:43,321 [6] INFO  TFTPServer.Service.TFTPSettings - RootDir: 'E:\'


    Has it always been set like this or is this a recent change?

    You might try creating and using a folder instead of the root of the volume.

    This looks like the SYSTEM account not having sufficient access to write to the computer's  event log (the logs that are accessed through event viewer). Adding write permission for this account would solve this problem.
