Hi,
I made a installation of virtual center on windows2003, but I can't start the process "vpxd". And I uninistall and re-install the virtual center, the bug is still here.
Most likely a database problem, check your VC server logs for errors.
To view the log files open Windows Explorer and go to the C:\Windows\Temp\VPX directory on the Virtual Center server
Does the event log say anything helpful?
Also, check that your database is up.
the log as below:

But I don't know how to config the database.
Start on page 58
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_301_201_installation_guide.pdf
From my own experiene that VirtualCenter Server won't start if the Database is not set up right.
At least it is somewhere to start.
