Troubleshooting Windows Installations

Is AOL server running properly?

Please go to "Control Panel/Administration Tools/Services" and check if the service "AOLserver-projop" is running.
You can start it manually from the context menu (right mouse click)

Is Postgres running properly?

Please go to "Control Panel/Administration Tools/Services" and check if the service "PostgreSQL" is running.
You can start it manually from the context menu (right mouse click)

Error due to multiple install attempts?

If you installed ]po[ multiple times on your machine please make sure that the de-installing process completed successfully and that there are no components left.
Check "Control Panel/Administration Tools/Services" and make sure that the services AOLserver-projop and PostgreSQL are not listed after having de-installed ]po[.

Is there a conflict with the ports?  ­

Please check that there's no application already listening on the preconfigured port by typing

netstat -an

into your Windows console. If you find the following entry

TCP    127.0.0.1:8080         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

there's already an an application listening on port 8080 of your local machine. In this case adapt the config.tcl file accordingly.

Webserver does not restart automatically on older WIN2000 and XP systems

Start > Control Panel > System > Advance > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention and disable Data Execution Prevention or add "nsd.exe" to the exemption list.
