One trick is to rename mserver5 to mserver5.bin and create a script named mserver5 which starts mserver5.bin and adds the extra command line parameters. Problem being it gets applied to all servers.

Subject: cannot access db with mserver5

Hello,

I have been using monetdb starting my db farm with monetdbd and it has always worked fine.

I have tried to start manually mserver5 with the command mserver5 --set embedded_py=true --dbpath=/path/to/db --daemon=yes —set mapi_open=true

The process starts correctly, but when I try to launch mclient it says InvalidCredentialsException:checkCredentials:invalid credentials for user ‘monetdb’, what can I do?

I want to start the database with mserver5 because I need remote access (—set mapi_open=true), is there a way to enable this flag using monetdbd?

Thanks,

Stefano
