Hi Marco,
Your installation looks good to me, so it is strange as to why the
service will not start now.
Can you please download the Windows dependancy walker program
(depends.exe) from http://www.dependencywalker.com and use this to
load the "virtuoso-t.exe" binary and see if their are any dependant
DLLs required by the binary that cannot be found and thus prevent it
from loading.
It might also be an idea to add "%VIRTUOSO_HOME%\bin;%VIRTUOSO_HOME%
\lib" to the system environment variable such that and Virtuoso
dependant files can be found, although given that this worked for you
previously I would not expect this to be the case. One final point, I
presume you are creating the service as the same user that worked
previously, also I presume your service is running as the "Local
system account" when viewed in the service manager "Logon" tab for
the service ?
Best Regards
Hugh Williams

Hi Hugh,
Below is the information you requested from my installation. Thanks
for your help,
Marco
>>1. Can you start the Windows Service Manager (Control Panel ->
Administrative Tools -> Services) and
>>look for the the "OpenLink Virtuoso [Your Instance Name]" entry
and attempt to start it and report any
>>reason for failure to start.
A pop-up dialog comes up with the text "The OpenLink Virtuoso
Server [virt1] service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service."
>>2. If you edit the "OpenLink Virtuoso [Your Instance Name]"
service you created in the services manager
>>what is the "Path to executable" setting, as on my installation
it is:
c:\javatools\virtuoso\virtuoso-opensource\bin\virtuoso-t.exe -I
"Virtuoso_virt1" -c "C:\javatools\virtuoso\virtuoso-opensource
\database\virtuoso.ini"
>>3. Does the Windows system event log report any reason for the
service failing to start ?
After attempting to start the service, I see 2 new entries in the
Windows System log, both of type "Information"
At 2:52:43PM: The OpenLink Virtuoso Server [virt1] service was
successfully sent a start control.
At 2:52:43PM:The OpenLink Virtuoso Server [virt1] service entered
the stopped state.
>>4. Can you provide a directory listing of the files in the %
VIRTUOSO_HOME%\database directory
Directory of C:\javatools\virtuoso\virtuoso-opensource\database

5. Can you provide a copy of your virtuoso.log file in the %
VIRTUOSO_HOME%\database ?
It is attached. As far as I can tell my attempt to start the
service is not recorded, only the activity from running virtuoso
with the -f or +foreground flags.
