I commit to be a beginner using this tool. Well, I installed it and I can configure server and client, even with mySQL as Database. However, I'm not able to connect to the server. When I chek the services which should run, the plasticscm server stopped. If I try to start it, it stops again telling that some services are stopped if they are not used by other programs or services. My question is now, how to change this setting or bypass it in plasticscm?
Forgot to mention it's version 5.0.4.603. Tried it as well with 5.4.15.605
Here are the errors in the log file:

Reviewing the issue, it was related to the configured SSL channel in the "remoting.conf" file. After disabling it (@orca actually didn´t want to use it), the issue is not happening again.
If you review the "remoting.conf" file, it has two channels, a TCP channel and a SSL optional channel.
