FDHOST launch

  • MSDN has a very nice description on how to launch FDHOST. This is what you have to do if you want Full Text Search to work in SQL Server 2008. However, it does not fit my computer settings. I do as it says-

    Start/All Programs/ Microsoft SQL Server 2008/Configuration Tools/SQL Server Configuration Manager

    and at that point I don't have SQL Server 2008 Services and right clicking anything does not give me MSSQLFDLauncher

    I have

    SQL Server Configuration Manager (local)

    SQL Server Services

    SQL Server Browser Stopped

    SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) Running

    SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS) Stopped

    SQL Server Network Configuration

    Protocols for SQLEXPRESS

    Shared Memory Enabled

    Named Pipes Disabled

    TCP/IP Disabled

    VIA Disabled

    SQL Native Client 10.0 Configuration

    Client Protocols

    NameOrderEnabled

    Shared Memory 1 Enabled

    TCP/IP2 Enabled

    Named Pipes3 Enabled

    VIA Disabled

    Aliases

    nothing

    right clicking

    produces the following alternatives:

    Open

    Refresh

    View

    Export List

    Properties

    New Alias

    As far as I can see there is no way to start FDHOST from the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

    So how do I start FDHOST? Or where do I find MSSQLFDLauncher and how do I start it? MSSQLFDLauncher is the Service Account for Full Text Search.

  • I see your named pipe is disabled I don't think it can run with named pipe disabled per the link below and you also need to check the account used to run your SQL Server service.

  • Thank you for your suggestions. I have enabled the pipes.

    What am I supposed to check about my account.

    Where is it to check? How do I find it?

    Thanks again.

  • Read the security recommendation and procedure in the link I posted.
