How to open SERVERDEF file?
The main problem with Server Definition is that the SERVERDEF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SERVERDEF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SERVERDEF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sublime Text
In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SERVERDEF files.
Programs to open SERVERDEF file
Remember to download programs supporting SERVERDEF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with SERVERDEF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SERVERDEF file still does not use the Sublime Text program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SERVERDEF file with the Sublime Text application.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Server Definition file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SERVERDEF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SERVERDEF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SERVERDEF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SERVERDEF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SERVERDEF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SERVERDEF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SERVERDEF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SERVERDEF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SERVERDEF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SERVERDEF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
