Unable to start the server

[blweb]

I'm trying to create a Sybase Dev ASE 12_5 server on a Windows 2000 machine. When I try to start the server through the server tools it gives me a error saying "Process is running but unable to log in." Checking the task manager and the process list the sqlsrvr.exe is running.

I installed the ASE 12_5 client thinking it will refresh the odbc or the oledb drivers. This came to no avail. When I try to set up an odbc connection it times out.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can get out of this black hole that has enclosed on me?

Fixed with a complete reinstall.

1)run the uninstall from Add/Remove programs in control panel.

2)Reboot

3)run the uninstall from Add/Remove programs again to make sure the links are all removed.

4)Delete/Rename the Sybase folder.

5)Run the install again.


I tried not doing steps 3 and 4 with no success. So please follow all steps if this is the course of action you wish to take.
