Re: more:after adding DBSERVERALIASES into onconfig file

Sounds like you might habe a FIN_WAIT on the port, check with a netstat -a if this is the case wait for it clear (typically 15 minutes) then have another go. Later versions of the engine seem to have resolved this problem, presumeably they are now using SO_REUSEADDR on the master socket before calling bind, so that it can bind again if there are residual connections in FIN_WAIT_2 or CLOSE_WAIT etc Kathy Huo wrote: > > Here I got the error message: > > ************************************************* > Wed Mar 8 10:42:26 2000 > > 10:42:26 Event alarms enabled.
