Hi,
Anyone had issues with DFM 3.6 on Windows 2003 sp1 ?
I've done a clean install of DFM and it installs fine but the Apache service fails to start - it can't talk to database (I get an error code 103 which doesn't seem to match anything on the NOW support site).
The server is also acting as a domain controller and IBM Director management server. I initially thought maybe Director was hogging port 80 but netstat didn't show this to be the case and I couldn't enable https anyway as the dfm option command wouldn't run because it couldn't talk to the database (the service itself is running and there is no local firewall).
The app has never worked so if theres some knack to installing it I'd be grateful for any advice.
Cheers, Raj.

can you do a "dfm service list" to see if all the services are running? if not check the dfm log files to see if anything is amiss.

ideally, dfm should be installed on a host where no other application is running! if thats not possible, first disable all other services, follow it up by restarting dfm (dfm service start) and then figure out the problem.

Another reason I've seen DFM start but not it's httpd server is that the httpd.pid file from a previous run is still present. I've had occasions where I had to delete that file, then re-start DFM or the http server. This file is within the DFM log directory ... something like: /opt/NTAPdfm/log/httpd.pid. Try deleting and restarting.
