I imported some data into database from 6 files or so. I restarted database after each file. on latest file, after stopping the database, I decided to start it up manually and ran like this: /opt/monetdb/bin/mserver5 -dbinit="include sql;" --dbname=<bbb> --set mapi_open=true when opened mclient, it said: !InvalidCredentialsException:checkCredentials:Invalid credentials for user '....' HOWEVER, as last hope I decided to try starting again via merovigian, and I think it worked, except that it's taking its time now to sync up sql_log into the dbfarm. so for some reason starting database via merovigian and manually like above is not the same thing. Does merovigian pass some environment variables to the mserver5 process? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Invalid-Credentials-for-user-when-restarted-mserver5-t...
