GALLEON Startup Error

[msp_guy]

My Galleon stopped working (wouldn't appear as an option on my Tivo S2 and wouldn't startup from my PC). I downloaded the newest version (V2.3) and installed it. Now, when trying to open it for the first time, I'm getting the following error:

"Could not connect to server. Check that the Galleon service is running. Make sure that the ports required by Galleon listed on the FAQ is configured in your PC firewall software."

I'm not using firewall software. And when I try to manually start the Galleon service through the Windows Admin tools, it says it won't start and that a file is missing.

Any ideas?

I don't run Galleon under Windows, but I'll take a shot.

There should be some log files like gui.txt in the log directory under wherever you installed Galleon. They might contain some useful information.

Do you have the correct version of java installed?

try restarting the background service:

From a command prompt:

net stop Galleon
net start Galleon

then wait a little after it starts up before opening the Configuration GUI

I just had this very same problem. VERY Annoying. If you're a galleon user, like me, you can forget TiVo Desktop and disable the TiVo services.

1. Start > Run > type 'msconfig' > enter
2. Click on the 'Startup' tab
3. Scroll down and uncheck the following: 'TivoNotify', 'TiVoServer', 'TiVoTransfer'
4. Click OK
5. Reboot when prompted.
6. On restart, check the 'Do not show again' box, then OK.

Check to see if Galleon works now.

In my case, Galleon did run... I was able to access all the features from TiVo, and I could manually update the config.xml file to make changes. Only the GUI would not launch.

This corrected it, but of course, I cannot use TiVo Desktop. Not that I needed to, I just got used to having it around, as a Galleon back-up of sorts.

Let me know if it works for you as well.

Thanks for all the quick replies and ideas. I ended up downloading the installer again and re-running the installation. That did the trick. Must have been a bad install earlier.

Thanks again for those who offered help.

I've got the same problem. I cannot get the service started and have it stay running. It seems to die shortly after being started.

I've tried all the suggestions above but none have worked for me.

At the end of the log.txt file there is the following error messages:

Any other suggestions???

Recently had the same problem on a new Galleon install - Galleon service would start, then stop itself a minute or two later.

I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and had the same problem.
Then, strangely enough, I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and it's working fine now. Weird, but I'm not complaining.

On another machine I remember just disabling the service automatic start and having the service start manually via command-line in my startup.

Sorry, wish I could say exactly what the problem was. Point is, keep at it. Once it works it's great.
