Wow. I have broken my thoughts about this for a loooooong time. In the end stuff can be so simple:
When you get the errormessage that it cannot start the DBConsole do this:
- Make sure you have the MS loopback adapter installed (remember my previos Blog-entry)
- Make an entry in your hosts file:
xx.xx.xx.xx yyyy
where xx.xx.xx.xx is your fixed IP-number on the MS Loopbackadapter and yyyy is your computrename - Restart the service
That should do the trick
