Read the existing configuration and history first so an administrator does not overwrite the evidence by changing the trigger, action, credentials, or working directory too early. This recovery article is intentionally conservative: it starts with evidence already available to the operator, separates observation from remediation, and uses the referenced documentation to confirm the exact behavior of the service in scope. It does not assume that a familiar error message has one universal cause.</p>
