Episode 122 — Configuration and Service Failures — Improper Setup and Missing Resources
Description
This episode covers how incorrect configurations and missing dependencies can prevent services from starting or functioning correctly. We discuss common causes, such as incorrect file paths, insufficient permissions, or disabled services. Identifying these issues often requires checking configuration files, logs, and service dependencies.
Practical and exam examples include resolving a database service that won’t start due to a missing data directory or restoring a web service after a misconfigured port assignment. Troubleshooting steps include validating configuration syntax, restoring missing files, and ensuring all required services are running. Understanding these failures equips candidates to restore operations quickly and avoid repeat incidents.
