I've been having the same problem all month. LMS is not starting on bootup, and then - even when I open the control panel as administrator (either from the Start menu or the icon), it says "server is starting" and then, within seconds, it says "server has stopped."
Here is the server log. Any help appreciated.

Assume that a uninstall, clean reinstall would be the right move, but thought I'd check first. Many thanks.
Here is the server log. Any help appreciated.
