    Hi,

    Make sure that the account being used to run the Windows Service - Web Analytics Data Processing Service, that was\is configured from within Central Admin > Security > configure service accounts,  has Processing role membership on the two Web analytics Databases within the SQL server. (Reporting and Staging), run an IISRESET and then try and open Central Admin. 

    Note:  this domain\account is also a db_owner on the remaining SharePoint databases, with the exception of the Usage Database, Tempdb, State service db, SharePoint_Config, and SharePoint Admin db.

    For the usage db, tempdb, state service db, the account does not have any roles.  for the SharePoint config and admin databases the account has public and WSS_Content_Application_Pools.

    If not resolved, check the windows service

    Make sure that the account being used to run the web analytics service (services.msc - WebAnalyticsService) is a farm admin, set it back to the account that you know is a farm admin.  Then restart the service after entering the farm admin credentials on the "Log On" tab.

    If not resolved then try this:

    Open regedit

    Navigate to hklm\software\Microsoft\inetstp and make sure that PathWWWRoot (REG_EXPAND_SZ) points correctly to %SystemRoot%\inetpub\wwwroot

    Next, if that is the case, make sure that the advanced settings for each of your sites, within IIS manager, point to the correct virtual directories c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\virtualdirectories

    Finally, make sure that the /config directory has not been altered.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721637(office.12).aspx  This information still applies in 14 (2010) and 15 (2013)

    HI,

    Check if the application pool you are using to run web analytics service application is running fine or not.

    Also perform an IISRESET on all WFE servers

    Thanks, Rahul Rashu
