  • I found the solution to above problem, this problem occurs when you re-run the commerce installation script. Before re-running you need to delete all Website, Application Pools and Folders in wwwroot folder of Sitecore Commerce 9 update 2.

Sometimes SQL Server Windows service cannot restart after stopping, ensure SQL Server Window service is running.

Also please make sure that TCP/IP protocol is enabled for the SQL server.
