Problem initializing
Posted in 1998
Hi,
It's been a while since I've created an instance and were using a 3rd
party app from HP called Praesidum that uses Informix underneath. The
platform is HP-UX 10.2 with Informix 7.11.UC2
During the initial install of Praecidum the Informix online instance
is initialized for the first time. This fails complaining about a Fatal
error in shared memory initialization. BUT the online.log file contains the
following message:
---------------------------
Tue Nov 3 10:32:12 1998
10:32:12 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off)
10:32:12 The chunk '/var/opt/odss/authpdb/authpdbs' must have owner-ID and group-ID set to informix.
10:32:12 INFORMIX-OnLine Stopped.
10:32:12 mt_shm_remove: WARNING: may not have removed all/correct segments
-----------------------------
The permissions on the chunk are as follows:
chihdp03:[3579]-> ll /var/opt/odss/authpdb/authpdbs
-rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 0 Nov 3 10:32 /var/opt/odss/authpdb/authpdbs
I've also checked out the kernal params on the machine and they appear ok.
What else is there to look at?
Thanks,
Bill
