Hi,

Did you ever resolve this problem? I am having the exact same issue - AGS 10.1 SP1 instance was working fine, and now all services are producing this same error that you are getting.

Thanks,

Dave

Ah never mind - I resolved my issue. Problem was actually with an ArcSDE server. I was using application server connections to connect to a 10.0 SDE instance, and the SDE service had stopped on that machine. Restarted the service and all is good.

I'm seeing the same issue. Direct connection, but across 8 load balanced servers. Any explanation for this error?

I would also like to see any additional suggestions on this error as it is occurring frequently lately.

I'm using an SOE. I had this same problem after enabling the debug Settings under GIS Server -> Extensions -> Debug Settings and setting the port range to 9000 - 9005. Once I disabled debugging of extensions, the error wend away.

We're also getting the "could not initialize service" error using Direct Connects. We have an SOE, but it's not running on all of the services that throw the error, and the SOE debugging/logging is disabled.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

although this thread is quite old, I've had the same problem recently. I solved it by doing the following: I reassigned privileges to the arcgis server account (just the wizard) and restarted the server. AGS is behaving perfectly well again.

Hope this helps.

It worked for me too, at least until now.
