Given as much information as you have, the only thing we can suggest is that you check your database services - it doesn't appear like they are up.
Again depending on your version your DB intance name can be anything between ARSystem if you left it to defaults to whatever you named it to be if you are on ARS 4.5 and above.. Thats something you need to know - basically how you set it up.. if you send us your configuration file however we would be able to tell you what that instance name is..
