sql server error 3417

  • Cannot start SQL server service.

    Tried command line sqlservr.exe -f -T3608

    Get error message saying:

    for file number 2. OS error 2:(the system cannot find the file specified.)

    Unable to open the physical file c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf -f for file number 2. OS error: 2(The system cannot find the file specified.)

    mastlog.ldf, however, is in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\ directory!

    Help please.

  • Did you checked the physical location?

  • Also check the server startup in configuration manager

  • Resolved. I had mistakenly put the '-f' in the startup configuration setting.

    Not sure why it failed in the first place but up and running now.

    Thanks!
