The Document Conversions Launcher Service status on a SharePoint Server 2007 Web front-end server displays "Starting" but does not start or stop
You add a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Web front-end server to a farm. When you view the "Services on Server" page on the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration Operations page on the SharePoint Server 2007 Web front-end server, the Document Conversions Launcher Service displays a status of
Starting. However, the Document Conversions Launcher Service does not start.
This issue occurs when you try to start the Document Conversions Launcher Service on a SharePoint Web Front-end server that was added to a farm environment in which at least one SharePoint Web Front-end server already exists.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps on each server that is experiencing this issue:
Step 1: Stop the Document Conversions Launcher Service
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, type the following command:
cd \Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin
- At the command prompt, type the following command to create a .txt file that contains the names of all the services, and then press ENTER:
stsadm -o enumservices > Drive\serv.txt
Note In this command, Drive is the letter of the drive in which you want to save the .txt file. - At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype ServiceTypeName -servicename ServiceName
Note In this command, ServiceTypeName is the name of the servicetype that is contained in the serv.txt file. Additionally, ServiceName is the servicename that is contained in the serv.txt file. - At the command line, type the following to reset Internet Information Services (IIS), and then press ENTER:
iisreset
Step 2: Start the Document Conversions Launcher Service
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, type the following command:
cd \Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin
- At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype ServiceTypeName -servicename ServiceName
Note In this command, ServiceTypeName is the name of the servicetype that is contained in the serv.txt file.
