Re: [Hyperic-hq-discuss] Having trouble starting server / database

[Josh J. <jj...@gc...>]

I have never had to start the database manually on my windows HQ server.  It is a dependency from, and starts automatically, when you start the HQ-Server service. 

Did you install by running our installation batch file in a command prompt?

After installation completed did you leave the server running and connect to the HQ to verify connectivity and login ability?

Based on the limited knowledge all I could suggest is this.  (only if this is a new install) 

1.  Re-run your "setup.bat -full"
2.  Pick server installation
3.  Answer all questions and let installation complete
4.  Once install is complete close the server
5.  Run "hq-server.exe -i" to install the server as a service
6.  Go to your Services and right-click Hyperic HQ Server and click Start
7.  It should start the server first and then the database
8.  Verify that you can log into the HQ interface.


As I typed this it started sounding pretty thin to me, but hope it helps.  If you did most of this but didn't finish, i.e.-didn't install as a service, pick up at that point and finish up.
