Squeeze Cneter will not start
Created attachment 4432 [details] error log
Created attachment 4433 [details] error log
Please don't preset targets. What do you mean by "it does not start"? Do you see it in the task manager, but it disappears? Can't you access the web UI? Do the players not connect? Could you please upload the server.log file too? Thanks.
QA to investigate and follow up
Jens: Which version of Windows XP do you have? What is the default Language? Was this a clean install of 7.3.1 or an Upgrade from a previous version? IF and upgrade, what version was on it before? What if any Anti-Virus software do you have installed? Can you please try a Clean install? removing all SC pref files before installing 7.3.1 again.
Windows Service Pack 3 Norwegian Ugfrade from 7.2 Clead Install has been tried - SC still not staring
Jens - could you please upload the server.log file?
Please give the string where to find server.log
for Windows XP you can find the log files at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SqueezeCenter
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SqueezeCenter --> the folder is empty
try starting squeezecenter.exe from a DOS window.
SC doesn't start when trying to run from DOS
> SC doesn't start when trying to run from DOS But it doesn't just quit without any message neither, does it?
No, nothing happens, no messages. Right clicking the Squeeze Tray still showing "Starting SqueezeCenter"
> No, nothing happens, no messages. Right clicking the Squeeze Tray still > showing "Starting SqueezeCenter" But when run from DOS, does it return to the command prompt without any output at all?
No it doesn't return, atfter clicking enter, absolutely nothing happens and the command prompt window disappears
Please give the latest build a try. http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/latest/7.3/
Did a clean install (slow progression when installing)- still the same problem, SC still will not start
Jens: Please try SC Version: 7.3.1 - 24372 or later.
Michael: is there anything in Jens last log that looks like it may be the culprit? Jen: please upload a new log when you install 7.3.1
Have you tried SC 7.3.2 yet? Do you still experience this issue?
Created attachment 4714 [details] Log file Yes, stiil experiencing the same issue. Did a fresh install now. Please see attached log file-
Jen: thanks for the quick response Michale: Can you look at the log, there are a few errors I'm not familiar with in it. Could this be a Firewall issue?
Targeting this for 7.3.3 was a bit optimistic, as I still don't know what the problem is and what it's caused by. Jens - this bug's subject says "doesn't start". But it clearly does run, as otherwise you wouldn't have all those DNS messages. And did you really test with the latest 7.3.x nightly build? You should get a line like the following whenever you restart SC: [09-01-23 08:48:46.5263] main::init (270) Starting SqueezeCenter (v7.3.1, rTRUNK, UNKNOWN)
Tried 7.3.3-24832, still the same problem
Jens - I don't see any sign of failure in your latest log file. The only critical messages date back from more than a month ago. I still don't understand why you think it fails starting. Could you please answer my questions from comment #3?
Created attachment 4760 [details] log file Yes, 7.3.3-24866. Please feel free to change subject title. Log file attached. http://127.0.0.1:9000/ not accessible.
Please contact support as there's no obvious bug, but rather some configuration issue.
