Cannot start a service instance in Virtuoso-opensource - cmd

Question

I'm trying to create and start the service instance. But it doesn't start.
Here is the command I ran:
virtuoso-t +service start +instance MyService
Here my output:
The Virtuoso_MyService service is being started
But the localhost:8890 cannot be loaded.
Details:
Opened CMD as administrator.
Ran the same commands 3 days back and the services were running fine till I restarted the system.
Commands followed.
C:\Users\username\Desktop\foldername\MyWork\virtuoso-opensource\bin>virtuoso-t +service create +instance MyService +configfile ..\database\virtuoso.ini
[Using virtuoso.ini in C:\Users\username\Desktop\foldername\MyWork\virtuoso-opensource\database]
The Virtuoso_MyService service has been registered
and is associated with the executable
C:\Users\username\Desktop\foldername\MyWork\virtuoso-opensource\bin\virtuoso-t.exe
C:\Users\username\Desktop\foldername\MyWork\virtuoso-opensource\bin>virtuoso-t +service start +instance MyService
The Virtuoso_MyService service is being started
C:\Users\username\Desktop\foldername\MyWork\virtuoso-opensource\bin>virtuoso-t +service list +instance MyService
MyService Stopped
As suggested by #TallTed, I have added the log:

16:27:37 This probably means you either do not have permission to start
16:27:37 this server, or that virtuoso-t is already running.
16:27:37 If you are absolutely sure that this is not the case, please try
16:27:37 to remove the file virtuoso.lck and start again.

Answer 1

The answer is in the Virtuoso log file --
16:27:37 Unable to create file virtuoso.lck (File exists).
16:27:37 This probably means you either do not have permission to start
16:27:37 this server, or that virtuoso-t is already running.
16:27:37 If you are absolutely sure that this is not the case, please try
16:27:37 to remove the file virtuoso.lck and start again.
Removing the virtuoso.lck as advised there should resolve the issue.
In a normal shutdown, Virtuoso will clean up this file. If power is cycled, or the Virtuoso process is otherwise uncleanly terminated, this file may linger, as in this case, and so need to be manually removed.
The Virtuoso website has a vast amount of information, including the official Virtuoso manual and the evolving docs, covering Open Source in more detail.
ObDisclaimer: OpenLink Software produces Virtuoso, and employs me.

Answer 2

I was having the same issues on windows 10. I fixed by going to my
C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\Virtuoso OpenSource 7.2\database
and manually delete virtuoso.lck file
The restart my server and everything now started working fine!
