Packaging failed error when publishing or overwriting service

Question

Hi, 
I get the error "Packaging failed" when publishing new service or overwriting existing service from ArcMap. However, i can "Save a service definition file" and publish the .sd file from ArcGIS Server manager without problem.

I have 2 environments test and production. I only get this error from my production machine.

here is the error as it captured in the results window: "ERROR: code:500, java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException, Cannot connect to this server. Failed to execute (StageService). "

I was able to publish new services or overwrite existing services on my production server before. And nothing was changed that I'm aware of.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

I never discovered what was wrong. But since the server has been rebooted, the error has not re-surfaced.

Hi Dallas,

But what issues behind this error? Do we need to reboot our server each time we get this error?

Best

I�??m still having the same problem �??packaging failed�?� despite the fact that o have rebooted my server!

Facts
1. The �??ArcGIS Server Account�?� is shared to the folder containing the data (*.mdf)
2. �??ArcGIS Server Account�?� has full control on the folder containing the data (*.mdf)
3. The SDE data is registered

What might be the issue then?
