Can't install Tableau Server 7.0

Emre Kartal Feb 1, 2012 7:32 AM

Hi;

When I try to install Tableau 7.0, it gives me an error.

Error is; ""Tableau Server initialization failed. See intall log at C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\logs\tabadmin.log""

When I check the tabadmin.log, it couldn't be created. I create file manually, it can't write anything inside.

Anyone did find the solution?

Kind Regards;

Emre, are you sure the account that you configured to use to run Tableau Server under has proper permissions? For example, can it write to the folder locations it needs to under \ProgramData?

You might want to give this article a quick look:

Good luck!
