When Running the ETP Server as a service, no files show up in the client

Post by DAF10139 »

If I run Everything from the desktop, on a separate machine,all files appear when I connect to the ETP server. If I then shutdown Everything and install it as a service, when I connect with the client, no files show up.

I have tried very combination I can think of, separate Everything folders (as suggested), same folders, instances, and nothing allows the client to see a file list on the server.

There is no user name or password set up.
I am using the default port.
I am indexing the entire drive.
There are no entries in the log file other that service started and service ended.

What could I be doing wrong?

Everything has 2 types of services, The Everything service (which you can configure through Menu:Tools > Options > General ) and the Everything Client Service, which is used to run your ETP Server "as a service".

Which one did you configure?

Please try temporarily disabling the client service, make sure appdata is disabled and indexes are set correctly before restarting the client service:
  • From a command prompt, navigate to your Everything.exe:
    CD c:\everything
  • Disable the client service:
    everything -uninstall-client-service
  • Make sure Everything is not running (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • Run Everything:
    everything
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options
  • Click the General tab.
  • Uncheck Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Click the NTFS tab.
  • Make sure the desire NTFS volumes are included.
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • In the command prompt, reinstall the client service:
    everything -install-client-service
