I've bought my first VPS yesterday, and I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express on it.
Then I have restarted my VPS. But SQL Server Service didn't start. I've tried to start it manually, but It can't start:
What is the problem? How to solve it?
P.S: This is my first server management, and I'm a newbie, if you need any further details about this, please leave a comment. I'll update the question.
Update 1: This is some log details from Event viewer that I thought that they may be useful for this problem:
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file e:\sql11_main_t.obj.x86release\sql\mkmastr\databases\objfre\i386\MSDBData.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
The resource database build version is 11.00.3000. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
FileMgr::StartLogFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'e:\sql11_main_t.obj.x86release\sql\mkmastr\databases\objfre\i386\MSDBLog.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.
Starting up database 'model'.
