Service starts and reports no error, but no ports are bound

Post by ADFHAU »

Hi,

Installed uvnc 1.0.6.5 as a service.
Used uvnc_settings.exe to set options.
sc start uvnc_service - says started...
netstat -ano ... doesn't show port open.
.. Launch from start menu as user... runs fine... port bound...

syslog shows no errors.

New install of Win XP Pro SP3 (with Python 2.3 and 2.5, Avira, Apache, SQLServer Express and some inhouse apps installed). Windows firewall has winvnc.exe explicitly authorised. No additional security or firewall software installed. TightVNC had been installed, but was uninstalled first. Also went into registry after uninstalling UltraVNC and manually deleted ORL etc. keys before reinstalling again in case there was something left over.

... I have nooo idea why this board wants to double space my config file example - might be windows/linux linefeed diff (no, I did use windows and windows aware text editors - possibly browser copy paste issue)

When the uvnc_service is running, check TaskMgr if winvnc.exe are running.
If the UVNC service is installed & started properly, you should find TWO sessions are running.

When the uvnc_service is running, did you see the EYE icon at the Systray?

Reference the thread [topic=15125]Cannot run UltraVNC as service[/topic] to see if the informationb can help.

Yes. It is a little bit annoying.
