PLEASE HELP - Segmentation fault - IDS 7.31

installed IDS 7.31.UC3-1 from scratch on a IBM E30 running AIX 4.3. No matter what I do I just can't get the server to initialize. Running "oninit -i" returns "Segmentation fault" with absolutely nothing in the online.log (as in empty) I have tried different onconfig setting - I ended up with <1MB of Shared Mem needed to initialize (According to onmonitor) I have tried to deliberately cause another message (ie. Not enough streams defined in kernel) by boosting some onconfig parameters but still it just returns "Segmentation fault" when I try to initialize. I set the SHMBASE value to the value specified in the release notes and even tried setting it to 0 (zero) in hope of having the OS select the best possible address. However, I do not have a clue whether my problem has anything to do with initializing shared memory. For all that matters I might have installed my products in the wrong sequence. I installed 4gl RDS Dev, 4gl RDS Rtl, 4gl ID, ISQL and then extracted both I-Connect and the server files from the media before I ran "installconn -o" which was suppose to install both the connectivity tools and the server according to the installation manual. I could see from the permissions and ownerships on the "~/bin/on*" files that the engine was not installed so I ran "installserver" afterwards. Any ideas welcome JPS

Carefully check your shared memory-related kernel params. They all are listed in /release directory. Also check if nettype entry in sqlhosts file has network interface, supported on your platform. ------------------------------------------------- With best regards, Yuri Dovgart SAP R/3, Informix technical consultant, Senior System Consultant System Architecture and High Availability Systems, 'Telecominvest' company Email y_dovgart@tci.ukrtel.net ICQ 39284285 David Williams <djw@smooth1.demon.co.uk> wrote in message news:xFDyOAApU9G4Ew+f@smooth1.demon.co.uk... > In article <7ve6da$rt7$1@ctb-nnrp1.saix.net>, JPS <jps@nomail.com> > writes > >installed IDS 7.31.UC3-1 from scratch on a IBM E30 running AIX > >4.3.
