Administration Console Service wont start

system · October 6, 2011, 4:10pm

The install went smoothly, but I can’t open default.aspx, and when I try to open service.aspx it tell me to check that the services are running. The avast Administration Console Monitor is running, but the avast Administration Console is not. When I try to start the Admin Console after a minute or two it pops up telling me it started then stopped. Here’s the log:

Did you install with the also yesterday release installer for SBC?

system · October 7, 2011, 3:24pm

I installed the new release, but the results are exactly the same. Same errors and logs. I’ve tried installing it on 4 different machines, I just don’t know what to try next.

Some questions:
-Did you log in with administrator credentials?
-Can you tell to us the configuration of pcs you tryed to install?
-Have you tryed to install a SQL express 2008 istances manually?
-Any other security software is installed? What is your old Antivirus program?
-Did you look here and try to delete avast service?
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=85805.msg694980#msg694980
-Did you rebooted the machines after installation, maybe is necessary.

system · October 7, 2011, 10:39pm

I logged on as a domain admin.
3 xp machines, a server 2003 machine, and a server 2008 r2 machine
I was trying to use one of the many sql servers we already have
Only using Avast for security
Deleting the service and reinstalling did not help
Rebooted many times

In the end, I put a fresh install of XP on a virtual machine, and was able to get it to work correctly!

Thanks

I have the same problem. Cannot start the avast! Administration Console service. The avast! Administration Console Monitor service starts up fine.

I’ve tried all the suggestions on this page and others. I sent in a ticket but have not received a response. HELP!!!

Have this in the Avast.Sbc.Service log.

Service cannot be started. System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object.

From my understanding, this is a bug. I have seen it a few times. I worked with JFK on this issue. By removing the console, and installing the newest console, the problem is no longer present. J.R. Guthrie
