Re: shared mem init failed

'n one might ask how do we clean up the shared memory for a particular instance, well...take the SERVERNUM [ex. 35] convert it into a hex value [23], add it to "5256" (always) that gives us [5279] and now look for all the shared memory segments with KEY's starting with 0x5279 (run ipcs -m), these are the shared memory segments of the instance with SERVERNUM=35. You can then kill each segment by executing ipcrm -m segid, that should solve the shared memory already exists problem...;-) --Anil gptheo@my-deja.com wrote: > hi, > > i try to init the server via onmonitor-startup (or oninit -s), i get the > following error : > > oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation. > > the online.log file: > > 20:59:20 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52564801: shared memory already> exists > 20:59:20 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment> > what do I have to do ? > > thanks, > theo > > theo > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > Share what you know.
