I am trying to install Dynamic Server 7.3 on a Pentium II system running SCO OpenServer Unix 5.0.4. When initializing the engine I get: 15:57:13 shmat: [EINVAL][22]: shared memory base address illegal 15:57:13 using 0x82080000, needs 0x80400000 15:57:13 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment The IDS_7.3 file (machine specific) says: LOCATION OF SHARED MEMORY: ========================= SHMBASE 0x82000000L which is in the onconfig file. Any ideas what's wrong and how to correct? It's just a test system for my home office and I don't have phone support from Informix.
