I can't start ORF service after recover server. - ORF Forums

Hello kravtsov,

I suspect that the 'Log on' settings of the ORF Service are incorrect. The ORF Service uses the Local System account by default. Please try the following:

1. Open the Windows Services snap-in (Start>Run>services.msc)
2. Locate and right-click on the 'ORF Service', select Properties
3. Select the 'Log on' tab
4. Make sure that the 'Local System account' is selected
5. Click Ok.

If the above does not help, please try to reinstall the ORF Service:

1. Open the Windows Command Prompt (Start>Run>cmd.exe)
2. Navigate to the ORF directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\ORF Fusion)
3. Run the following command: orfeesvc.exe -uninstall
4. Run the following command: orfeesvc.exe -install
5. Try to start the ORF Service

Please let me know if this has helped.

@kravtsov: Hello kravtsov,

In this case, please try to reset the Microsoft IIS Administration Service as well:

1. Start the Windows Command Prompt (Start>Run>cmd.exe)
2. Run the following command: "iisreset"

You should get the following:
Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Internet services successfully restarted

If this does not solve the problem, please send us () the ORF configuration file called 'orfent.ini' and your most recent logs (e.g. orf-2015-10-27.log). They can be found in the ORF program directory, \Program Files (x86)\ORF Fusion by default.

For future reference, this issue was caused by a corrupted PowerLog references file (called plogrefs.dat). Once the corrupted file was deleted, the ORF Service successfully started.
