Custom service application - proxy stopped

Question

Ive created a custom service app using samples from Tony Bierman and MS. I can see the application in central admin, I can create a new service app from it, the create page works, the manage page is blank and I don't have a properties page. I havent yet tried using the beast, I just want to get the deployment and admin stuff working first. It deploys ok and I can create an instance.

However, after creating it, I see the Service app has started but the app proxy is stopped.

I dont know if this is a problem or not but I cant find anywhere to start it.

Should I worry?

Answer 1

Turns out that yes, I do need to worry. The problem was I had the proxy package feature receiver scoped to web rather farm. Took me a week to find this :(
