Err: Service started and stoped. Illegal characters

Damian · Post by **Damian** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 6:43 am

I install SOS 4.0.1 Server on XP Pro SP2 and when I try to start service I receive message: Service started and stopped. When I see events - message is:

Service cannot be started. System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters
in path.
at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2)
at ClassicService.Server.Startup(String[] args)
at ClassicService.ClassicService.OnStart(String[] args)
at
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object
state)

Can you tell me what is wrong?

I install 1.1, do I need to install Framework 1.0 ? Or to try with Framework 2.0 ?

P.S: This is my second install - first everything were OK and we work about 3 month - but now we must move server and I don't know what to do. Help please.

See this KB article for a solution.

BTW -- we haven't tested SOS Server on the .NET Framework 2.0.

yes - problem were that in start line in Service have "C:\progam Files\SOSServer\and so on ...". When remove " service start and worked fine.
