I am unable to start my Stardog server. I am using version 5.0.5 of community edition.  
This is what I get when trying to start:

I have tried it multiple times as it always stops at 78%.

Additional information : I had previously stopped the server and started another instance of Stardog. Now, I can start the new stardog instance but not the old one.

How do I resolve this issue and what is the cause of this?

Is there anything in stardog.log that might provide additional info?

You said that you stopped the server and started another instance of Stardog. Were they both the same version or different versions? I’m assuming this was using the same $STARDOG\_HOME is that the case?

Yes, both are of same version.  
I have even tried by passing --home parameter to make sure it is not using same home directory
