5.4f9 Admin won't start now for some reason. Here's the error I receive
and some of the log. Using WinXP
"Sorry, not connected to dmgrsvc, check it is running as a service"
Well it's not running. Attempting to start it results in another error
and no go.
What is the other error ?
Was this previously running ok ?
Did anything change when it stopped working ?

Chris, I noticed that dadmin.exe and dmsgr.exe were in the dtemp directory
and not in the dnews directory. I moved them and all is well. BTW, the
dtemp directory is full of dupes such as the conf files, etc. Can I
eliminate them?
The dtemp directory can be erased it is only needed during installation.
Those two binaries should not be in the dnews directory, they should be in
the windows system32 directory:
Directory of C:\WINDOWS\system32
25/11/2004 11:45 a.m. <DIR> dadmin
06/07/2004 12:12 p.m. 930,816 dadmin.exe
06/07/2004 12:12 p.m. 278,016 dmgrsvc.exe
One other question, with dnews.exe running as a 'service' in XP and also
appearing in the task manager as a runnign process why is it I still have
to manually start dnews.exe for it to work?
You shouldn't, is it actually running as a service or just registered as a
service but not running.
My best guess is that it's failing to run as a service. I would stop dnews,
delete dnews.log then start the dnews service
net start dnewssvc
Then wait 2 minutes, and examine dnews.log and see if it reports any
information about why it's not running.
