Deadline 10 Database can't start - Cannot create another system semaphore

Thinkbox8249 · October 18, 2021, 12:46am

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could please help me with this problem. We can’t seem to start the deadline database service. We have rebooted, but it won’t start. This error was in the event viewer:

The Deadline 10 Database Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: Cannot create another system semaphore.

Thanks
Andrew

That is a MongoDB specific error. You may need to dive into Mongo’s log for more details.

If you let Deadline install the database for you, the log files will be at:

Windows: C:\DeadlineDatabase[VERSION]\mongo\data\logs
Mac OS X: /Applications/Thinkbox/DeadlineDatabase[VERSION]/mongo/data/logs
Linux: /opt/Thinkbox/Thinkbox/DeadlineDatabase[VERSION]/mongo/logs
