Hi everyone !!! Installed the latest version of Java and my Ignition Gateway service now fails on error 1067. What registry fixes do I need to do to correct this ? I am using 7.3.

( Previous to this I was unable to launch an application due to error httpresponseexception: 505:http version not supported. Don’t see any references to this in the forum and it was originally what I was trying to fix. The program was running from designer )

Hi folks ! Can’t seem to get to the bottom of my Gateway Service not starting ( Error 1067 ) so I am considering uninstalling and re installing Ignition. Problem is that I have a lot of work into a project with no backup and can’t backup now because gateway won’t run. Catch 22. Can anyone tell me how I can manually backup my project files so that I can re install ignition and maybe keep on going here on my development. I’ve been stuck for a day and a half. Thanks !

I’m not completely comfortable recommending how to wipe your gateway, but here goes:

I believe that the last 5 versions of your projects should be stored here {Install Dir}\data\db\autobackup based on [Colby’s post](http://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=7132&p=21210).

If in doubt, I’d back up the whole folder. Do you have another computer that you could Install Ignition on and do the restore from the autobackup on as a (safe) test? I know there is a safe way of doing what you want, but I’m not comfortable stepping you through it.

Hey Nathan. I appreciate the reply… even though its the weekend before Christmas. Quick update here. I completely uninstalled Java and re installed version 29 ( also did 27 but I thought that 29 was the original version ). So the Ignition Gateway Service starts up now but the Ignition Gateway does not start from the Windows Program menu. I am deciphering the wrapper logs and gateway logs etc. Also the link to Designer is broken so it will not even try to start.

Now regarding your idea to use the auto backup files. I did see these. I was not clear on whether they contained the project files. I will attempt to install on my backup computer and see if I can move the latest version from this backup directory into the new install. Thanks !!

No problem. Try searching the forum. I believe Colby has explained the backup recovery process. To the best of my memory, it’s simply a matter of copying a file or folder to the right place. Everything is stored in the “internal database”, which is local instance of HSQL running on the gateway.

I’m browsing on (a renewable) 30 free minutes of Wifi at 30,000 feet compliments of Ebay and Delta. I’m also on my Macbook Air that doesn’t have Ignition installed.

update: Found it. Colby explains how you copy the backup over the db folder to “manually recover” your Ignition instance below.

[viewtopic.php?f=72&t=5395&hilit=copy+backup](http://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=5395&hilit=copy+backup)

This would be a good topic for a tutorial and/or training video.

Okay… some good news. I did a new install and was able to get at my projects by copying the autobackup files to the db directory.

Bad news… is that something is broken in my project. This was my original issue that made me install a new version of Java. On launching I am getting an exception “CouldNotLoad ArgumentException” wrapped exception HTTP response code 505. More details to come perhaps on a new thread. I will try to uninstall and recover my original computer 1st.

Okay. I would like to wrap up this post for future users by saying that uninstalling Ignition and re installing got me back to where I started.

To summarize… the original problem was I downloaded and installed Java Version 30 which stopped the Ignition Gateway Service from working on Error 1067. Going back to previous versions of Java 27 & 29 did not fix my issues as the service now started but Launching Gateway from the Windows Menu selection did not work ( Gateway launched with issues ) and the Designer link was also broken. (Thanks to Nathan for the assist on the manual restore from autobackup directory. I will start a new thread on my project launch issues and http error 505. )
