Hi I had monetdb setup working for few months and recently, all of a sudden the database would not start any more. I have tried everything I could find in the docs: checking permissons reinstalling the packages, deleting and recreating the databases, Farm,, etc... Now I can't even start an new empty database. Here is the erro I get in the log: 2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG control[15663]: (local): served status list 2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG merovingian[15663]: startup of database under maintenance 'sapo' forced 2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG merovingian[15663]: starting database 'sapo', up min/avg/max: 0s/0s/0s, crash average: 0.00 0.00 0.00 (0-0=0) 2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG sapo[16066]: arguments: /usr/bin/mserver5 --set gdk_dbfarm=/Ldisco1/Monet_dbs/ SAP_farm --dbname=sapo --set merovingian_uri=mapi:monetdb:// bon051.cloud.fgv.br:50000/sapo --set mapi_open=false --set mapi_port=0 --set mapi_usock=/Ldisco1/Monet_dbs/SAP_farm/sapo/.mapi.sock --set monet_vault_key=/Ldisco1/Monet_dbs/SAP_farm/sapo/.vaultkey --set gdk_nr_threads=16 --set max_clients=64 --set sql_optimizer=default_pipe --set monet_daemon=yes 2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG merovingian[15663]: database 'sapo' (16066) has exited with exit status 127 2012-11-22 08:31:08 ERR control[15663]: (local): failed to fork mserver: database 'sapo' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints Any ideas why this problem may be happening? I have another Ubuntu64 machine with the same versions of monet and it works normally. I must be overlooking some detail of configuration. It may be a good Idea to add a FAQ to the docs with possible causes for well known crashes. I am on an Ubuntu 64 bits with latest MOnetdb: $ uname -a Linux bon051.cloud.fgv.br 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 17:49:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux administrador@bon051:~$ monetdb -v MonetDB Database Server Toolkit v1.0 (Oct2012-SP1) administrador@bon051:~$ monetdbd -v MonetDB Database Server v1.6 (Oct2012-SP1) thanks, -- Flávio Codeço Coelho ================ +55(21) 3799-5567 Professor Escola de Matemática Aplicada Fundação Getúlio Vargas Praia de Botafogo, 190 sala 312 Rio de Janeiro - RJ 22250-900 Brasil _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org http://mail.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list
