Hi everybody,
I am trying to configure an Informix OnLine Dynamic Server version 7.22.UC3
on an SCO Open Server 5.0.2. The installations works smoothly as it says it
should in the manual. However, when I get to the configuring part I get the
following error
$ oninit -i
This action will initialize INFORMIX-OnLine;
any existing INFORMIX-OnLine databases will NOT be accessible -
Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y
oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation
The contents of the logfile are as follows
13:05:11 shmat: [EINVAL][22]: shared memory base address illegal
13:05:11 using 0x80080000, needs 0x80400000
13:05:11 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment

I have changed the SHMBASE from 0x82000000L to 0x80000000L as it seems to
suggest above but still it won't work. I have set all the environment
variables and modified the template onconfig.std standard file just to point
to the right ROOTPATH and DBSERVERNAME. I also included the DBSERVERNAME in
sqlhosts.
Any sugestions appreciated.
