Did you check the log file? What does it says there? Find it in > C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\logs ---

Hi, the logger record gateway event script info ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/9/0971881a7df3bcd6ea29f2f2d364283ce15d4dcb.jpeg) but the gateway showing this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/8/e876d844e8f72c22a31bc3f218fa5b1841aaa2a4.png) thanks ---

You will have to look through that wrapper log file for the word `FAULTED`, closest to the end of the file. Then look at (or post here) the errors leading up to that. If you post here, be sure to use the "preformatted text" styling in the comment editor. ---

We would need more information. Search for something like "FAULTED" or something similar. Normally is at the end of the file. _EDIT: Exactly like pturmel said (i just read the post)_ ---

Okay, the issue is here: ```python 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | E [IgnitionGateway] [14:18:41]: Error during context startup. 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | java.lang.NullPointerException: null 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at java.base/java.io.ByteArrayInputStream.(Unknown Source) 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.deserialization.XMLDeserializer.deserialize(XMLDeserializer.java:241) 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.db.namedquery.NamedQueryExecutor.lambda$initializeQueries$0(NamedQueryExecutor.java:96) 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at java.base/java.util.ArrayList.forEach(Unknown Source) 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.db.namedquery.NamedQueryExecutor.initializeQueries(NamedQueryExecutor.java:92) 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.db.namedquery.NamedQueryExecutor.initializeQueries(NamedQueryExecutor.java:82) 2025/02/11 22:18:41 | at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.db.namedquery.NamedQueryExecutor.(NamedQueryExecutor.java:76) ``` This probably means you tried to import or restore named queries defined in a newer version of Ignition to an older version of Ignition.

This will require either locating and removing these resources on the filesystem or upgrading Ignition (if that's an option). You may want to contact support for help locating and removing these resources. They're going to be located among the project resource files in the `$IGNITION/data/projects` folder. ---

You could carefully move these files aside somewhere, because presumably they are important and you're going to want to keep them. I'm not sure how this will really help. The Gateway may start, but you won't have any of your projects at that point... ---
