After following the instructions (to the best of my ability; it is possible that I've missed something!) to set up the FTP gateway (version 3.0 build 20416), I am able to successfully start the console application:
2007-07-21 11:46:32,555 [8296] INFO [] - C-1 : Server Ready - Listening for new connections ...Press enter to stop server
But when I start the System service (with the console application closed, of course) I get:
Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: Community Server FTP ServerEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 0Description:Service cannot be started. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at CommunityServer.FtpServer.Service.Program.OnStart(String[] args) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)
I have a non-standard SQL DB name, which I have put into the FTP's connectionStrings.config file. I've modified communityserver.config as well to reflect the correct locations, etc.
I only wish for a more descriptive error message. This kind of binding error makes it kind of difficult to troubleshoot. I'm assuming this is some kind of SQL server binding error? What have I missed?
I really appreciate the help!
With the console FTP started and published through my ISA 2006 EE server, I am able to successfully login remotely, and upload a file. The file appears in the appropriate gallery.
The service continues to refuse to start, spewing this cryptic message in the event log. I have tried starting the service as Network Service as well as the Local System. The Network Service account has full access to the directory on the disk - propagated to all child objects.
The Network Service account also has login permissions to the SQL server, so the SSPI integrated security should be functioning... I still suspect something there, since it runs as a console application (administrator account) fine.
Any ideas, anyone?
