Not able to Publish Geodatabase from Arccatalog or Arcgis online Manager

[prashantpal]

Hello,

Please help me out with this. I am trying to set up ArcGIS 10 server on local machine and am using ArcSDE Microsoft SQL Server 2008 for database.
I am trying to publish a Geodatabase using Arccatalog and ArcGIS online Manager but both are giving this following error.

Error when I try to publish it using Database connections.

Configuration Geoadmin.GeoDataServer can not be started.
Server Object instance creation failed on machine usf-960-1-win7.
Unable to init from C:\Users\prashantpal\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcCatalog\Geoadmin_connect.sde.

Error when I try to publish it using GDB itself.

Configuration Geoadmin.GeoDataServer can not be started.
Server Object instance creation failed on machine usf-960-1-win7.
Unable to init from C:\Users\prashantpal\Desktop\Try\try.gdb.

I have included ArcGISSOM and ArcGISSOC users to access these locations, but still it couldn't resolve this problem. I think its a mistake with my configuration , please help me resolve this problem.

Thanks

Have you problem only with GeoDataServer or also with MapServer?

Thanks for replying Domenico

This problem came for both Mapserver and Geodataserver. I made a mistake of not giving the GDB/MXD file the required
permissions (ie ArcGISSOC & ArcGISSOM).

Thanks again 🙂

What did you give permissions to precisely to get this to work? I am a little confused on what specifically you granted permissions to and what user that you granted those permissions to. Any response would be much appreciated

Well. However you need only for user arcsoc
