  • Is the database engine running?

  • check the event viewer for more information

  • yes database engine is running, but th issue with the services

  • A 1068 error means one or more of the required services is not running... So... Which services are stopped?

  • MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT

    MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT

    If MSSQLSERVER is stopped, then the database engine is not running. MSSQLSERVER must be running in order to start SQLSERVERAGENT service.

  • Yes please MSSQLSerice is not starting

  • Ok, now you have to go to the event viewer and see why it is not starting. Or, go to SQL Server Configuration Manager and try to start it from there. It should give you a more detailed error that you can post here.

  • this is a message I get in the event properties,

    18052 :

    Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1

  • Did you recently delete any folders? ...\MSSQL\DATA or ...\MSSQL\LOG

    These folders need to be in the configured place. You should see an error that says Cannot open specified folder C:\Program Files\...\MSSQL... or something along those lines. Find what path is missing and then create it.

  • No nothing was changed and I see the files there,

  • Look in the security and system logs. There should be more information about the starting of the service and the failure.

  • Go to your default SQL Server Log folder (...\MSSQL\log\) and look at the error log file.

  • I will check that, Thanks a Lot
