I've an IDS 9.40UC5 installed on platform Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Kernel 2.4.22.
I've configure the IDS with Parameters-Initialize and show me an error :

"ON-Line is still on INIT or RECOVERY mode. Please see the online.log"

In the online.log only show:

12:28:52 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Started.

Fri Oct 22 12:28:52 2004

12:28:52 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/opt/informix/ids940/etc/alarmprogram.sh'
12:28:53 Booting Language <c> from module <>
12:28:53 Loading Module <CNULL>
12:28:53 Booting Language <builtin> from module <>
12:28:53 Loading Module <BUILTINNULL>

and the ONLINE leaves here.

When I write : "onstat -m" it show me:

*** WARNING: IBM Informix Dynamic Server is no longer running. ***

*** WARNING: IBM Informix Dynamic Server is no longer running. ***

Changing data structure forced command termination.

Then I write: onmode -ky and show:

onmode: Shutdown of the database server shall be done by killing
the database server processes, as the database server is
in Initialization mode and cannot accept onmode commands.

Then I try again go up the online and write: "oninit -iv" and show me:
oninit -iv

and get here.

Really the Shared Memory is ok because I try again : oninit -s and its me:

oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation
and the online.log

13:11:20 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Started.
13:11:20 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52634801: shared memory already exists
13:11:20 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment

but why can't I go up the online ?
What seems this error ?

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks.
