CMS not starting

[system]

Hi All,

i have installed BOXIR2 on my Laptop (XPSP2), i could not start the CMS at the end of the installation. i am using Mysql as sysdatabas & Audit.
i have gone through the forum.

tried to solve it by checking the event viewer.

the steps i checked are…

went to host file in Windows and added my server name to it.

i checked the event viewer again and it said that port 6400 is been used by other application.

then i changed the port number of CMS to 6401 and tried to start it. it appeard as started but when i started other services i had errors in event viewer as “Could not connect to CMS”…

i was bit dissapointed because i couldnt find proper solution after lot of search…

if any one has faced such problems & fixed it please send me step by step approch to solve it.

Thanks very much in advance…

Arvind,
Have you checked for clues by reading the error log for CMS under “c:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjectsEnterprise 11.5\Logging”?

You mention the use of MySQL. In some cases you must set up MySQL to perform under BOE properly. To double-check your MySQL .ini settings, please follow this post:

Hello, I have this problem working with an ODBC connection to a mySQL database. As per the instructions from the mySQL site, I installed a windows based ODBC connector on my machine, created an ODBC connection and a DS name. I logged on to the designer, created an connection, used the DSN that I had created earlier, tested the connection, it says server responding. I see the tables within the database, create a sample universe, integrity check works out fine. I save the universe.All is fine u…

Arvind,
I just re-read your original posting:

XPSP2

Looking at the BOE XI R2 Supported Platforms (Windows) PDF, under Server Products, it lists only Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server types, not XP workstation. I have heard in the wild that others have been able to get XI R2 services to load on a XP workstation, but I don’t know exactly how they did it and what gymnastics they had to perform to get there. If at all possible, I’d suggest reformatting your laptop as a Windows 2003 Server and try again…

Thanks,
John

Try specifying ip and port no in configuration properties of all the services. In your case it would be IP:6401
