Bi/Server and Windows 2003 problems

Hi all,

 

We have a customer running Bi/Server on a Windows 2003 server. All was working fine until recently when after a reboot the Bi/Server software refused to come back up again.

 

I have tried everything I can think of, including uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but no matter what I get the error message stating that it appears that Bi/Server isn’t running.

 

I have checked and Hummingbird Core Services is running and when I look in the Windows services manager all the other Hummingbird services are running, which would suggest Bi/Server is running but it just doesn̵7;t seem to realise it.

 

We have Bi/Server running on many Windows 2000 servers without any issues at all, but on the Windows 2003 server we have this problem.

Has any else experienced this or managed to get Bi/Server working on Windows 2003?

 

I have contacted support on this but it appears to have caught them out a little too, so while waiting for further suggestions I thought I’d see if anyone in the user group has had this issue or knew of anything further to try?

 

The software is set up exactly as required as is the user it’s running under. All permissions are correct and there doesn̵7;t appear to be any other software on the server to conflict with it, including anti virus software and other real time scanning software.

 

The Bi/Server version is 8.5.1.6 and was running fine since install for a few months until the server was rebooted and now this has happened.

 

Any suggestions, experience or pointers appreciated.

 

Thanks
