Hi Dan,

I'll bring up this issue at my weekly meeting (with our expert group) and get your feedback channeled through to Tridium so that they can see that it's happening and act on it.

 

Thank you for the feedback about getting the work around installed.

 

Take care.

Sincerely,

Leo Tantalo

Hi Leo,

Yes, that is the workaround that we performed to get it to start. I don’t really like the idea that our technicians have to be messing with the computer’s registry in order to make the software work. I think Tridium needs to look into this issue and provide an appropriate solution. Thanks for your help looking into it.

Thanks,

Hi Dan,

I researched your issue at Tridium's Niagara-Central Community website. Here are some ideas that worked for other people:

----------
I had (have) a similar problem, and was able to get around it by changing the properties of the Niagara Service. in the Service's 'Log On' tab, I had to change the radio button from 'Local System account' to 'This account', and Browse, to find my (network) user name. Once I changed this, the service could then start up.
-----------
When the niagara daemon service is not starting and showing the message "the service did not start or control request in a timely fashion", means that the daemon needs more than 30 seconds to start. Windows by default assumes that services should start (or at least respond) in 30 seconds. Due to a number of reasons it could happen that the daemon just need a little more time (especially running windows server editions with a lot of other services).
The procedure below shows you have to change this 30 seconds to 180 seconds. This solved it for us....

Go to Start > Run > and type regedit
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
With the control folder selected, right click in the pane on the right and select new DWORD Value
Name the new DWORD: ServicesPipeTimeout
Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify
Click Decimal, type '180000', and then click OK
Restart the computer

-------------

If these ideas don't work, use the Windows event log to get some details on why the service won't start.

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks.

Sincerely,
Leo Tantalo
