Could not startup server, Contact Apps For Tableau support when the problem persists

The app server is unable to start. This can have multiple causes, such as:

  • The application is configured as administrator but is currently not running with administrator privileges.

  • Another WriteBackExtreme process might be running in the background. Open Task manager and select the Details tab. You should have only one process called WriteBackExtreme.

  • Other processes might be running on the port that is configured in WriteBackExtreme. You can do that with this command in cmd:

netstat -aon
  • Open Powershell and navigate to the directory where WriteBackExtreme.exe is located. run this command to manually trigger the application server:

./WriteBackExtreme.exe serve

This command might give more details about what went wrong.
