Qlikserver doesnt start | installutil.exe file exist but doesn't start

[danifrolao]

Hi all,

I am migrating Qlikview to a new server, but after following all the steps of Qlik migration i still have this issue on the following image:

Can someone help me on this? Qlikserver doesnt start although all Qlik services are running.

The installutil.exe file exist on Microsoft.Net folder but does not start.

I am stuck on this and can´t understand why since all the steps of Qlik deployment guide were followed and nothing mention what to do in case this situation happen.

Thank you all.

Regards.

The migration is being performed to a new machine that run Microsoft Server 2016. Thank you.

One key thing to be aware of in Server 2016, Windows Defender is fully enabled by default, and that can cause a lot of issues with ports etc., so that is one avenue to check into.  

I just wanted to clarify that the QlikView services in the Windows Services applet all show as running there?  If so, then the issue is in the QMC view showing one or more offline?  If that is the case, then the other thing to check is whether there is a Proxy Server configured on the new server, as Proxy Servers will most often interfere with our .Net http service calls...  You would either need to set the Bypass on local option in the Proxy settings, or set a rule in the Proxy server that would not capture the http traffic for our services etc.  

Best I have with you provided, I would also check our logs as well as the Windows Event Viewer logs for clues in this case as well.
