Can't start two Db server instances

Mahmoud_Hadad

Hello,


I was successful in installing two servers on the same computer and I can start them separately but I can not start both at the same time though I edited the services file with the following

servername1 2506/tcp
servername2 2507/tcp

but each time I try to start them together it keeps giving me an error "Port is being used by another process"

Thanks,

Mahmoud Hadad

make sure the tcp-portsharing service is launched.
If you mean by db-server instances the 2nd tier, they should be able to run next to eachother.
If you mean a classic db, I don't have that installed and cannot help you further with that.

whats a classic db? and for the db server instances problem is that they are running on the same computer and they are using the same port and NetTcpPortSharing were running even after I edited the services file so why I can't run the two instances at the same time though each point to a different db?

first: classic db is the classic NAV database. alternate is SQL db.
classic db works with db server instance.
Alternate you've got SQL db with NAV 3tier.
This also has a service but is usually called NAV server/2nd tier, ...

Is your "services" file ending with empty line?
