server dies immediately after startup

Hi, Our faithful Informix Online 7.2 server has started acting up and I think I know why but can't sem to do anything about it. Our root dbspace is fairly small (40MB) and I suspect that it has gotten filled up. But now, when I try to start the server, it runs for a few seconds and then dies, writing only the following into online.log: 15:44:58 listener-thread: err = -930: Cannot connect to database server (localhost). 15:44:58 Attempting to bring listener thread down 15:44:59 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down If I could, I'd use onmonitor to add a chunk to the root dbspace but I seem to be stuck if I can't even get the server back up. Any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks, Doug Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

This means that the listener thead is not able to bind to the tcp port. This can be due to various reasons including 1) TCP keep-alive, 2) The old listener thread is still there, or 3) insufficient permissions. dhassman@my-deja.com wrote: > Hi, > > Our faithful Informix Online 7.2 server has started acting up and I > think I know why but can't sem to do anything about it.

* Check $INFORMIXSERVER/etc/sqlhosts servername field should me same as in /etc/hosts (or DNS) Try ping that name. * Check /etc/services TCP port must be uniq Masa <dhassman@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:8s2k14$uaq$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > Hi, > > Our faithful Informix Online 7.2 server has started acting up and I > think I know why but can't sem to do anything about it.
