Error: 30064: SQL Server failed to set security information on the full-text FilterData directory in the FTData folder.

  • SQL Server 2014 SP1 Standard Edition
    The following message is in the SQL Error Log on start up:

    "Error: 30064, Severity: 17, State: 1.
    SQL Server failed to set security information on the full-text FilterData directory in the FTData folder. Full-text indexing of some types of documents may fail until this issue is resolved. You will need to repair the SQL Server installation."

    The references I have found for this error refer to a possible misconfiguration with the registry key at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance id>\Setup\FullTextDefaultPath

    There is no FullTextDefaultPath entry in any SQL 2014 or SQL 2012 installation. However it is in SQL 2008 R2.

    Security on the FTData folder looks OK.

    Any suggestions where to go from here?

    Did you move the FTData folder?

    FTData was not moved.

  • So what does that Registry Key have as value in that FullTextDefaultPath?
    Most likely the path does not point towards your SQL2014 Installation but your 2008R2 which was upgraded to 2014.

    If you check C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log you should be able to get further Details what went wrong during the Upgrade.

  • To resolve the problem, check FTData folder path set in the registry – is the path valid, does the SQL Server Service has enough permissions on that folder, etc. The path to the registry key is:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance id>\Setup\FullTextDefaultPath

    In my case it was an invalid path in that folder. Unfortunately I was not aware of how this value got there after all the other paths were valid.
