Verifying the installation:
The Commit SQL Database runs on the server as a service called the Advantage Database Server.
If you have any program control software installed on your server, remember to allow the Advantage Database Server to act as a server.
In order to start/stop the database server, start and stop the service (named Advantage Database Server) from the Service Manager window (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). Make sure that no one is using Commit when you stop the service.
Congratulations! You have installed the Commit SQL Database.
Optional Settings
Now that CommitCRM depends on the Advantage Database service, the Commit Services (CommitWebInterface & CommitServer) also need the Advantage server to to be up before they try to load. To set these services to be dependent on the Advantage Service, follow these steps:
- Backup your current registry settings.
- Run regedit to open your registry.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and locate the CommitWebInterface/CommitServer services that you need to set a dependency for.
- Open the DependOnService key on the right side. If the selected service does not have a DependOnService key, then create one by right-clicking and selecting New > Multi-String Value.
- In the value field, enter Advantage.
- Click OK, close your registry and restart your machine.
