Cant start hMailserver Administrator
Posted: 2019-04-19 00:12
Hi
I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 64bit - and hMailserver has been installed and has worked fine for several years now. The hMailserver is configured to connect to a MySQL 8 server as 'localhost' (MySQL is installed on the same server).
But now I suddenly cant start hMailserver Administrator - and I know it has worked before.
When I try to start hMailserver Administrator I can see it in the taskbar - but nothing happens when I click on it.
(the database configuration tool works fine by the way).
I found this thread https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24828 and I have tried all the suggestions there without any luck.
All the services I can see hMailserver depends on is running and starts automatically when Windows starts.
(when I installed hMailserver I also choosed that hMailserver should wait for MySQL to start on system startup).
I have scanned the ports with "netstat -p tcp -a -b" - but none of the ports hMailserver uses conflicts with other programs.
I have also tried to choose 'Run as administrator' when I tried to run hMailserver Administrator - but it will still not start.
The server is running (as a service) as it should - it is only the administrator API which wont run.
I have also tried to stop and uninstall the anti-virus program on the server - but still the same result with hMailserver Administrator.
Nothing happens in the Windows Event Manager when I try to open hMailserver Administrator.
And I can also close the program again via Windows Task Manager - and no error occurs - then it just disappears as it should in the taskbar...
I know hMailserver Administrator worked on the server for about 3 months ago - and I am the only one who has administrator rights to it - so I know the only thing that has been changed during the last 3 months is that Windows has been been updated via Windows Update - and it has installed all the important updates...
So is there any known issues about the compatibility between hMailserver Administrator and one or more updates to Windows Server 2012 R2..?
Or do you have any idea to how to solve this program - so I can run hMailserver Administrator and use it..?
Thanks.
