Main Appserver Won't start

Sounds like the adminserver lock file is still sitting in the config folder.  Sometimes we get this if the server is shutdown incorrectly.
 
Here is a link.
 
 
Short of it is that the lock file needs deleting before the app server will start. 
look for the filename admsvr.lock in the <Progress Folder>\OEManage\config folder  where <Progress Folder> is the drive and path of your progress installation.  We are on Windows so not sure what it would be if you were on *NIX.
 
Hope that helps.

Upgrading from 8.03 to 9.05.  Customer previously tried doing the upgrade themselves first and had issues. We ompleted all the steps in the epicor guide without issue. We are trying to start the 3 appservers for Production and only TaskAgent and ProcessServer will start, the main mfgsys one will not. Not sure what is causing the issue, I suspect something in OpenEdge isn’t right from doing both upgrades on the same box and a setting got crossed or is missing. In the broker log for the mfgsys appserver is the below error. I can confirm that the .pf file is in the correct location and it ‘appears’ to look correct when I open it in notepad but im not 100% on this. Any help is appreciated.

What is the OS ?
Also is the progress or SQL backend?

Is this the same server than ran 8.03 or different?

What is the contents of the .pf file

What credentials are the openedge admin service running under.

Is this 64bit or 32bit openedge ?

Regards

This is from progress.

 

 

Cause

Server startup parameters ( connection parameters to the database) for the AppServer is set using -pf and the path to the .pf file. 
The .pf file referenced in the ubroker.properties file was missing.

Resolution

Restore the .pf file to the expected location or modify the path in the ubroker.properties to it's new location.

 

also are you sure the Epicor905 progress db us running?
