Nathan C Nathan C Thanks Nathan, But here my question is not at startup. I understand, just wanted to clarify exactly what the modes meant. It being "Automatic" won't affect the service post-startup. As I mentioned in my answer, Recovery only helps if it fails to actually start the service and not if it stops by you killing the process.

Thanks Natha, Then what is the solution if the process gets abruptly stopped or killed? Betsy Riggins Betsy Riggins 11 1 1 bronze badge. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

The first thing to test is to disable the WAS Windows service from Windows Services Panel and then try to start server using command line ie startserver.

How are you starting the server command line, in a developer tool or as a windows service?

Also i have found a workaround. I need to restart my machine after each shutdown. I need to start and stop the server repeatedly so I am still having a tough time. Are you shutting down the server before you try to start it again? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. VG, opinions are my own and not those of my employer. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
