Sonarr Service not starting

Help & Support

System information

Operating system: Windows 7
Browser (for UI related issues): Chrome

sonarr has been working wonderfully for me the past six months or so. However, when I logged into my computer this morning, the service wasn’t running and the UI won’t respond. When I tried to start the service manually, I get an error message that says says that it started and then stopped. I’m not really sure where to go from here, if someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to do anything that would cause me to lose all of my series data. Thanks!

Turns out I just needed to delete Config.xml. There is now a sonarr icon on my taskbar that wasn’t there before. Is that normal?

Its not running as a service at the moment, but as a standalone application. It will operate the same way, but you can stop Sonarr and start the service if you want the service to keep working.
