Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows XP
SYMPTOM(s):
Lost connection to the network
Network cable is unplugged
AdminService is not running
It is not possible to restart AdminServer
Windows message when trying to start AdminService: "The AdminService for PROGRESS 9.X service on local computer started and then stopped"
CAUSE:
Java process hangs when network connection is lost causing the adminserver not to start
FIX:
The way to address this is by installing the Microsoft Loopback adapter. To install this on Windows, do the following (the steps may vary from one version of Windows to the other, please contact Microsoft's documentation for your version of Windows) :
1. Control Panel, Add Remove Hardware
2. Add Hardware Wizard
3. Add a new device, hardware device (at the bottom) - <Next>
4. Add the hardware that I manually select from a list <next>
5. Network adapters <Next>
6. <Manufacturer Microsoft> - Microsoft Loop Back adapter <Next>
7. <Next>
8. <Finish>
9. Reboot
The loopback adapter simulates being connected to a network, and therefore should resolve this issue.
A second solution would be to kill the java.exe processes running and start AdminService again.
