     [ http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-450?page=all ]

Noah Salzman updated HHQ-450:
-----------------------------

    Fix Version: 3.0.3

This single forum post is probably indicative of dozens of people who run into this.

It shouldn't be that hard to do a quick check, kick an error on failure, and exit.

Targeting to 3.0.3.

> It is very confusing to a new user of Hyperic that hq-server.exe (if not yet installed as a service) will happily try to start up if the database isn't running. 
> In the spirit of making HQ as painless as possible to get started with we should have hq-server.exe error politely and exit if there is no database running.
