arcgis-serverecwraster

When I am going to publish mxd (containging image.ecw) to ArcGIS Server, the following error appears:

Confiquration image.ecw. MapServer can not be started. Server Object
instance creation failed on machine.

What should I do to resolve this error?

See this ESRI KB article on publishing ECWs to ArcGIS Server - it requires special (extra) licensing from ERDAS. This may be your issue.

Also, are you able to publish any map service?
