SQL Server express service is not starting
- by Mahdi Ghiasi
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:
