Installing Informix on Sun Ultra 10

Hello all, I am trying to install informix on a Sun Ultra 10 and am encountering a problem once I try to start the engine; informix cannot attach to shared memory. The informix installation process does not fill in the SHMBASE variable like the manual says it does, and I think that is the problem. I tried setting SHMBASE to 0x0, but to no avail. Anyone out there have any idea what value I should be using or if that is the problem. btw. system is an Ultra 10, 400MHz sparc, 256mb ram, solaris 2.6 Thanks in advance!

Ignore enable_sm_wa. Set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=16 rather than 100. If that is not the problem, then try 'oninit -v' to see what is happening during the initialization. I'm assuming you are using a current version of the server; you don't actually say which one you are using. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
