ANI Server failed to load from the database.
Please stop and restart the system. You may need to re-initialize the database.
If this does not work, please contact technical support.
I re-initialized the DB but no changes affect the PIFServer process...
Anyone knows what I'm hitting?
Ciao

Post the pdshow output from the dos prompt:
"pdshow > pdshow.txt"  and check you event viewer for any errors as well with a screenshot.
