Service won't start / console unreachable
FileAgent runs as a web service and a scheduler service. If the console is down or jobs stopped, start here.
Last updated July 17, 2026
#Check both services
FileAgent runs two background services — the web console and the scheduler. If the console is unreachable or jobs stopped running, confirm both are running:
- Windows — open Services and confirm the FileAgent web and scheduler services are Running; restart them if not.
- Linux — run
sudo fileagent statusto check the services.
#Reaching the console
- Use HTTPS:
https://localhoston the host, orhttps://<server-ip-or-hostname>:<port>elsewhere. - Plain HTTP is not available for installed FileAgent.
- If the console loads but shows degraded status, open System Status to see which component is unhealthy.
#After a reboot
The services should auto-start after a reboot. If they don't, repair or reinstall using the same installer/package to re-register the services, then confirm they start automatically.
#Console works but jobs don't run
If the console is fine but scheduled jobs aren't running, the scheduler is the likely cause — see A scheduled job didn't run.
