NXLog service will not start

Post by blake.volk »

Good Afternoon everyone,

I am having the following issue where I am not able to get the nxlog service to start. I added the following screenshots and also my conf file. When I go to start the service it crashes almost immediately and shows the following message. If you have any questions let me know and I will be more than happy to help. Thank you in advance for the help with this.

Could you double check the definition (at the top of your conf file)

Code: Select all

define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog
to make sure that is the actual path your your nxlog installation? In some systems, Program Files (x86) does not exist. nxlog may also exist in the Program Files directory.

If the ROOT path is correct, could you post the contents of your nxlog.log file? It's usually located at nxlog\data\nxlog.log.

Is it alright if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?
