arcgis-10.4arcgis-serverfeature-servicefile-geodatabase

How is it possible to publish the feature service from a local file geodatabase i.e. not using an Enterprise geodatabase such as Oracle via ArcSDE.

When i try to create a feature service it gives me error:

Feature Service require a registered database

and i have no database installed. i am copying my geodatabase to ArcGIS Server.

When i try to place my file geodatabase on network that is shared location it gives me error that:

Feature Data Source is not supportted

Software that I am using:

ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4.1
ArcGIS for Server 10.4.1
Windows 7 64 bit

Simply put, you need a registered database with the server to publish a feature service. This help link has more information. The last section of this topic explains at the highest level, the steps required to publish a feature service.

If you dont have SQL Server, or Oracle, or another Enterprise database, you can setup SQL Express workgroup to act as your registered database. This topic provides information.
