Adaptive Processing Server stays in Starting mode

Hi, trying to see if someone has run into this issue and give me some clues what is best to try. Just did an out of the box installation with a customer of BI 4.0 SP2. We noticed that the APS stays in Starting mode. We tried stopping it but that does not change behaviour.

We alos saw that we have no option to create a new APS and I am wondering if something went wrong with the installation. I am not sure if setting a trace for the server would even tell us something.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Stephan
