RE: Fatal Error in Shared Memory Creation

Are you sure that no other instance is running with the same server number? What's your SHMTOTAL set to? If it's not zero (unlimited), try setting it to zero to see if the engine comes up. If it does, then you can change it too a number large enough for the engine to start. You can always leave it at zero as well, but Informix may use more memory than you want it to use.

Really learning lot of things from this newsgroup. For couple of early question I recieved good solutions. Thankyou. This time I am facing a problem in Informix On-line startup with Fatal error in Shared Memory Creation. After installing Informix 7.24, I was trying to setup Informix from Off-line to On-line mode through 'onmonitor' > onmonitor > selected 'mode' > then selected 'startup' I got the following error: initializing, please wait ... oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation press return to continue.... I am not able to set to 'On-line', I am afraid anywhere missing out in setting the configuration. Can any of you help me, to how I can resolve this problem. Thanks n regards, Harish
