Re: Fatal error in shared memory creation

Check the online log as a starter. This should hopefully give more info. If you don't know where that is try grep MSGPATH $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG also it may be worth checking that SERVERNUM (also in the onconfig file) is unique from any other shared memory segment and that sufficient memory is available for the instance to start Paul Simon Gao <x.gao@m.cc.utah.edu> on 26/03/99 00:24:27 Please respond to Simon Gao <x.gao@m.cc.utah.edu> To: informix-list@iiug.org cc: (bcc: Paul'ITID' Matthews/CHASE) Subject: Fatal error in shared memory creation I am new user to Informix. I have installed informix IDS 7.3 on a Linux server. Installation went through fine. And first time, I run "oninit -i", everything seems working until I type in "onmode -k" to stop IDS server. After I stopped it, restarting by "oninit" or "oninit -i" will give the following error: oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation. I have not gone very far except following Administrator's guide to set a online_learn database to experience with it first time. Any suggestion about solving my problem will be welcomed. Simon Gao
