Hello, I'm seeing this error when starting a database. Not sure if anyone has had the same issue and whether anyone had a fix? The following is what I did % monetdbd start ~/dbfarm % monetdbd start ~/dbfarm % monetdb create voc % monetdb start voc starting database 'voc'... FAILED start: starting 'voc' failed: database 'voc' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints The log says the following 2012-09-27 16:56:04 MSG merovingian[14761]: database 'voc' (14801) has exited with exit status 1 2012-09-27 16:56:04 ERR control[14761]: (local): failed to fork mserver: database 'voc' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints Any comments / suggestions?

% monetdbd start ~/dbfarm % monetdbd start ~/dbfarm
I would have expected an error here, you can't start monetdbd twice for the same dbfarm
% monetdb create voc % monetdb start voc starting database 'voc'... FAILED start: starting 'voc' failed: database 'voc' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints
The log says the following
2012-09-27 16:56:04 MSG merovingian[14761]: database 'voc' (14801) has exited with exit status 1 2012-09-27 16:56:04 ERR control[14761]: (local): failed to fork mserver: database 'voc' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints
Any comments / suggestions?
what version are you using? (monetdbd --version) _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org http://mail.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list

Hello. Sorry that was a typo, the correct sequence was % monetdb create ~/dbfarm % monetdb start ~/dbfarm I'm using 11.11.5. Any idea? Thanks, Peter On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 2:30 AM, Fabian Groffen <Fabian.Groffen@cwi.nl> wrote:

Yeah. Upgrade to 11.11.11 (Jul2012-SP2), we fixed misc problems in this area here. _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org http://mail.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list

Hello, I just upgraded. But the problem is still there. so what does this error usually indicate? starting database 'voc'...

I think it helps if you install it first, and run the installed copy. _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org http://mail.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list
