IDS 7.31 on Linux

Good day. I've tried to run IDS 7.31 on Linux without succes. I am not a big spec in Unixes, so I need help. Please point me a correct direction. Some details below. uname -a: Linux persey.dati.lv 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:32:58 EDT 2003 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux oninit -v:Checking group membership to determine server run modesucceeded Reading configuration file '/opt/informix/etc/onconfig'...succeeded Creating /INFORMIXTMP/.infxdirs ...

You need to configure this one with a different server number in the ONCONFIG file. Server numbers (up to 256 of them) must be unique on a machine - across all $INFORMIXDIR locations. That is, if you have multiple versions of IDS around, you can still only use up to 256 instances of IDS, and then only if you (a) have lots of resources and (b) are extremely careful. The other possibility is that the version 7.31 you are trying to run is for an older Linux distribution than the one you're using. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/

If these are large, try starting the engine with these parameters set low, say 2000 and 16384 respectively. You may already have IDS running or a previous failure to initialise has left segments in memory (check by running "ipcs" - if you have lots of segments this is probably the case, the easiest way to fix is to reboot). I also notice that you're running a 64-bit OS and this may mean that the SHMBASE value recommended in the release notes will not work. Ben.
