Using the same SHMBASE is unlikely to be the problem. Much more likely, you have not changed the server numbers (SERVERNUM in tbconfig), so they are both using the same shared memory IDs, and the one which tries to start up second says that its shared memory segment already exists. Check the SERVERNUM and DBSERVERNAME parameters. If they aren't the same, then we need to rethink... Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
