Cannot start server - Console shows server is down, service_stop/service_start doesn't faciliate connecting to server

The server was not functioning. It did not accept connections and in the console in the cluster overview it said server down. Executing service_stop did not work, it did not kill erlsrv or moxi and timed out. I dont think service_stop kills memcached.exe at all. Anyway, I manually killed those processes and executed service_start. Service_start does not restart the server successfully. The server is the same as in the beginning. The processes are running but it is not functioning.
So you're saying you have nothing listening on port 8091 or port 11210? You can check this with netstat -a if you're on Linux.
It can take quite a while for things to start up if you have a large dataset, but the web console should show the server in a pending state. If you see an erlang process and a memcached process, then it may be good to run mbstats a couple of times to see what the process is doing, if anything.
Are you certain there's no firewall or network issue there somewhere?
