I get a window saying starting Spiceworks but nothing launches. Help please.

If you can’t browse to your spiceworks ( http://yourservername ) then you probably need to stop it and kill the spiceworks related processes (httpd) then start it again.

What was the reason for stopping it in the first place? Was it a reboot? What was done to this system before the service was started?

The title of your post implies that you have had Spiceworks running before today. IS that correct?

Have you done an update recently?

More details, please.

It sounds like the Spiceworks service isn’t launching for some reason. Try manually starting (or restarting) it from services.msc on your SW host.

Sounds like there may be a port conflict too. IIS, MS SQL, Sykpe are among software that may try using port 80. Try starting Spiceworks and then right-click on the Spiceworks icon in the system tray and choose preferences. Then change HTTP to 9675 and HTTPS to 9676.

This will be a good test to see if that’s the issue.

Yes, it was working fine. I was try to get into the helpdesk to update a ticket. I rebooted the server but Spiceworks does not start up when I try to launch Spiceworks desktop or run the exe file.

Is your spiceworks configured as a service? If so, you shouldn’t try to run the spiceworks.exe file - you should start the service either in the services mmc or via command line “net start spiceworks”

For some reason, reading the title of this post gave me that same feeling I get when a User e-mails me to tell me e-mail isn’t working…

Thanks, I had this too. I looked in services and spiceworks was disabled for some reason. I set it to manual and restarted it successfully.
