[Hugh] What do you mean by problems cause you to shutdown your machine ie did the machine crash or is it gracefully shutdown and restarted ? The Virtuoso service creation process set the service to start "automatically" and thus it should be running by default after gracefully machine shutdown and restart. I can thus only assume that the machine or possibly the virtuoso server crashed leaving a "demo.lck" file in the "<Virtuoso dir>\ var\lib\virtuoso\demo" directory, which would need to be manually removed before the server is started. Please check this directory to confirm if this is the case and if so remove the file and then attempt the restart. Also, if you check the "demo.log" file it should indicate the reason the server did not start. If you are still having problem then try starting the server with the following command from the var\lib\virtuoso\demo folder: virtuoso -fd -c demo.ini This will start the virtuoso server in foreground debug mode detailing the attempt to start the server and hopefully the reason for failure. > > I use standard-type service commands (per Linux) as well as options like > listed here, but with virtuoso-t: > > http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/installwin32.html#CreatingDeletingServices > > And nothing seems to work.

[Hugh] A reinstall is never required you simply need to check the virtuoso log file to determine the cause of the server failure to start as suggested above. > > 1.

[Hugh] As stated above their is nothing to document for restarting as the server should restart automatically. What seems to be require is a simple troubleshooting guide I would think ... We shall see about adding some more documentation to the VOS documentation detailing more start-up options and troubleshooting. > > 3.
