Beta 822 - The background service failed to start


TechieGuy

Question

Hi,

 

I have installed the 822 beta version, however, after restarting my machine DrivePool displays the following:

 

The background server failed to start, try to restart the computer.

 

I have restarted twice with no success.  The EventLog displays the following error:

The 822 build is an interim build and may have issues.  Meaning that you shouldn't use it. 

 

 

Try upgrading the 823 build, and see if this fixes the issue.

 

If it doesn't, then please run the StableBit Troubleshooter (use 3087 as the contact ID):

http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_Troubleshooter

 

After doing that, try resetting the settings.

Thanks, Drashna.  I downloaded 823 build and still had the error. Resetting the settings worked and so far no issues.

 

I don't mind trying out the interim builds from time to time as my pools aren't heavily used, so I can afford to revert back to a previous, more stable version if needed.

I had the same problem when I directly updated from stable to latest beta. After upgrading from 770 to 786 to 798 to 810 to 823 it worked fine. Maybe there is a setting missing in the JSON file which gets created on versions before. I randomly choosed the versions and it may be not needed to install all of this.
