Waiting for HTTP server to initialize...

[Ayman Altounji]

When starting IM7 or the configuration wizard, a CMD shell opens and keeps writing line after line: Waiting for HTTP server to initialize...

If I close the windows nothing further happens.

Does IM7 rely on the IIS or does it have its own HTTP server? When I run a netstat the server is not listening on port 280, which is the port to connect with the browser, no?

All IM7 services are running when checking the services applet.

check the Compaq Insight Manager service in the services under control panel. That's the part that is trying to initialize. Try starting it from there, if it error's out, at least it will tell you why it can't start( i.e., logon error, group or dependancy failed to start, etc.)

Well, it seems to have been an ODBC thing.

I observed some eventlog errors about not being able to connect to the database. When checking the ODBC MSSQL settings, a test would run fine against the SQL7 server, but the network setting was Named Pipes. I changed it to TCP/IP, and after that started fiddling with netstat again.

Suddenly the server was listening on port 280, and everything seems to work...Yes!

Thanks a lot,
