I have tried multiple times reinstalling Virtuoso Version
5.0.10.3037 on Windows XP 32-bit, but cannot get the service started.
I have removed the services, unregistered the Odbc drivers and walk
through the steps described in the open source web page, but
everytime I try to start the service, it reports the status of the
instance as "stopped".
Are there log files I could take a look at? The only indication that
I have found is in the windows event log. Every time there are two
entries back to back. One saying that it is starting, and another
saying it is stopping.
Other things I checked based on googling and scouring the docs:
There is no .lck file in the directory structure for virtuoso and
all the administrative utilities where closed during setup and
startup.
Any other things I should check?
First thing is to try getting a version string from the binary. Start
a CMD window, navigate to the Virtuoso installation's \bin\
subdirectory,
and execute the command --
.\virtuoso.exe -?
This may reveal a missing library (probably just need to adjust your
PATH
or other environment variable(s).)
(Note - your Virtuoso executable may be named differently. Any/all that
start with "virtuoso" should produce version strings.)
If that succeeds, try starting the server in +foreground mode, and see
if
any errors appear. Either of these equivalent commands may be used --
.\virtuoso.exe +foreground
.\virtuoso.exe -f
For best results, copy the start command for the OpenLink Virtuoso
service
from the Services control panel, and add `+foreground` or `-f` to that
string. The above short string may be used if the long command fails.
Let us know how it goes...
