Re: [Virtuoso-users] Unable to start service - it crashes

[Luka <lui...@gm...>]

Please ignore the problem of not being able to find "Instance name" in the list of windows services.
It is because the service itself has "Open Link Virtuoso server" as a prefix to the name of
the actual service instance...

The created Virtuoso service can also be set to auto start  using the Windows Services Manager such that your Virtuoso Server automatically start when the Windows machine is started. The Windows Services Manager can be accessed from<code>Control Panel ->  Administrative Tools ->  Services</code>  menu items.

Please also check the virtuoso.log file in this same directory to see if it reports the reason the database failed to start. If the problem continues then from a command line prompt in the %VIRTUOSO_HOME%\database run the following command to start the Virtuoso server in foreground mode and provide the output produced:
