Qlik Sense Repository Error

[mkirsebom]

Hi guys

I´ve been trying for quite som time now to get the QMC started but with no success. I get an error message like this:

"Fatal exception. Unable to start the request handling process".....

Attached is the log.

All services are up and running. I first though there was something interfering with the service, for example another web server, but I can´t find anything.

Grateful for ideas.

Wouldn't be the "cleanest" of systems (various versions of QlikView have been installed in the past), but the account is a local administrator so shouldn't have a problem?

I would suggest to open a Case with Support so we can have a closer look at it. There was no response from the Thread opener or Case.

I agree with Daniel on opening a Support case, but you can try this -

One thing you can try is going to the Services MMC -> Qlik Sense Repository Database -> Right click / Properties -> Log On tab - and try checking the Allow service to interact with the desktop - Apply / Ok and restart the services.

Though, if you have a valid Sense Server license you can open a case with Qlik Support.

Please mark the appropriate replies as helpful / correct so our team and other members know that your question(s) has been answered to your satisfaction.

Make sure the repository is running under local system and not a service account.

[stephencredmond]

Thanks but unfortunately that hasn't made any difference.

I'm going to open a support request.

It is running as the Local System.

Thanks to support, I have found a solution.

The Repository service was unable to listen - on port 4444 - because another service (Good Sync Service) was already listening on that port.  Unfortunately, I didn't realise that 4444 was a port to look for as I had been looking for just 4242.

Running a command window with admin privilege and running:

NETSTAT -ab > c:\temp\netstatab.txt

Allows you to see a list of the ports that are in use and the name of the processes that are using them.
