I can’t start my TVServer on my server!

- Before I elaborate further, I have to say that;
I have uninstalled and installed both the TvServer (various SVN’s) and the SQL server several times!
I have ‘opened’ for TCP/IP connection like your video says!

When I run the TVserver the first time after an install it asks me for login info for the SQL server – I type in the password, and can ‘successfully’ test the connection (and then I press ‘ok’!)

Then I try to start the TvServer again it says something like “The database could not be upgrade, do you want to (re)create the database? [Yes/No]” (I press ‘yes’)

Then I wait for a LONG time and the computer says “TvServer not started – do you want to start the server? [Yes/NO] (I press ‘yes’)

But it does NOT start – I also try to start it ‘manually’ through services, but it hangs for a while and tells me that the TvServer can’t start in a timely fashion!

I have more or less the same experience on another machine… - the (re)create thing!

It’s probably not a ‘TvServer-error’, but more an ‘SQL thing’ – but does anyone have any experience with this sort of problem?

Logs don't tell much I'm afraid, is there anything in the windows event messages?

Hope it helps

This has been the case for me atleast.

The file is in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ and some TVServer or Mediaportal -folder.

On this ini-file there is a line where are the database username and password and also database source.


Don't know if this is the case for you.


Is this thing in some wiki ?
