Re: Error restarting server

At a guess, I'd say your shared memory segments were not cleared up properly. Login as root, and type ipcs If you see any shared memory segments there, you will need to remove them. WARNING!!!! This only applies if you are not running any other shared memory applications. There is a formula for calculating the base address of the OnLine shared memory somewhere in the manuals. This will give you the starting point for the segments you need to remove if there are other shared memory apps running. Good luck!
