At about 7:30 this morning my VMware Virtual Center server service stopped. The service will not start again.
When I try to start from the console - here's the error that I get (vpxd -s):
\[2007-09-14 16:32:12.375 'App' 2748 error] \[VpxdMain] Failed to initialize: Invalid journal file
There are a lot of problems like this in the forum so :
1. There are no port conflicts (IIS, IHS, Apache) nor 902, or any of the other ports.
2. My SQL server is running (ODBC)
Here's the output from vpxd -s
