Ensure that the server has permission to access the product and data directories. Directories on NTFS volumes can have a variety of file access permissions. By default the server is set up as a standard system account. If this account does not have sufficient access privileges then you must either create a new account for the server, or else change the server’s login account to an existing user account which does have suitable rights. This procedure is described in the manual. As a general rule ensure that the person trying to start the service has Administrator privileges on the NT box. Ensure that the ServerAddress setting in qawserve.ini is valid and that a valid port has been selected and is not being used by another process.
