Written by Petr Pech

Applies to server installations of ABRA Flexi on Windows only.

What the error means

The service is currently in a starting or stopping state and cannot accept further requests.


How to resolve the issue

  1. Wait a few tens of seconds and try again

  2. Check the service status

  3. If needed, restart the service

  4. If that does not help → restart the server

The error commonly occurs when the service is started repeatedly or if the service becomes "stuck".
