SQL wont start after moving Model database
- I used the code below to move the Model database and Model log file to new drive locations.
ALTER DATABASE database_name MODIFY FILE ( NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path/os_file_name' )
After running the commands I stopped the SQL server and moved the physical files to the new location.
Now I am unable to start SQL server, I get error 17204 Could not open file:Access is denied
I think the problem maybe that for FILENAME=new_path I put "J:\SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data"
but did not include model.mdf in the file path.
How do I correct the path now that SQL service won't start?
The SQL error log is below.
Thanks for your help

I haven't ever tried to move the model database, but a stupid question, have you checked that the account running sqlserver has access to your new drive/folder (local system/nt account)?
-
Would I be wrong in assuming that you put the model database on a network drive? And more than that the tempdb too? I think that is your issue.
