Re: unable to connect to DB server

Hello, I assume you are running this on UNIX. You server engine has crashed, but the shared memory segments have not been removed. You can: 1. Use the 'ipcs -a' to look for shared memory segments and semaphores owned by "informix" and remove them using ipcrm. OR 2. Reboot the operating system. You should look in your online.log file for messages regarding the server crash and to find some /tmp/af.* files for more information. Hope it helps, Octav On Thu, Feb 11, 1999 at 01:24:20PM +0530, Anil Khanna wrote: > Hi all, > I am a beginner in the Informix field. > I hope you would be able to help me out. > The problem I'm facing is that I'm not able to connect to the database > server.
