Re: oninit -v (Fatal error in shared memory initialization)
finderr 21
-21 Is a directory.
An operating-system error code with the meaning shown was unexpectedly
returned to the database server. A file-type operation has been
directed to a directory. Some database servers store tables, indexes,
and lock files as files with particular suffixes in the database
directory. If a directory replaced such a file, this error might
result. Look for other operating-system error messages that might give
more information.
Your ROOTPATH variable is pointing to a directory. You need to set
ROOTPATH to the FILE that is your rootdbs.
