Errors When Starting the Server

This section describes common errors you may experience when starting Sybase CEP Server.

Problem

When Sybase CEP Server is attempting to start, it exits without apparent reason.

This means there may be another server running that is using the same port number.

Problem

When the Sybase CEP Server is attempting to start, it freezes up after displaying the message "Reading Adapter ADL definitions from..."

This problem has been observed by a customer who was using cygwin (a linux look-alike product) under Microsoft Windows, and who compiled an in-process adapter using the "cygwin" libraries.

If you are running on Microsoft Windows and using cygwin or a similar product under Microsoft Windows, make sure that you compile and link in-process adapters and UDFs with a Microsoft Windows development system such as Microsoft Visual Studio, rather than with the C compiler supplied with cygwin. For out-of-process adapters and other code that is not run as part of the server itself, you may be able to use cygwin development tools.
