EFT fails to start one or more Sites

Karla Marsh
EFT

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT, v7.4.13

SYMPTOM

EFT fails to start one or more Sites

CAUSE

EFT falsely determines that the Site's ports are in use, because the ports were not de-allocated before the service restart has completed—usually due to powerful hardware causing service restart to happen with little to no delay.

RESOLUTION

Configure the following registry settings to insert a slight delay before restarting, or retry Site start a few times when the initial attempt fails.

​In EFT v8.0, all registry settings were moved to AdvancedProperties.json. For information about Advanced Properties, refer to the online help for your version of EFT.
