Hello All,

When I try to launch a ckpdb, I get the following error messages :


root/apsys/cptest1> ckpdb cptest1
Mon Nov 18 10:54:55 2002 E_DM007F_ERROR_STARTING_SERVER Could not start the serv
er due to an internal error.
Mon Nov 18 10:54:55 2002 E_DM1051_JSP_NO_INSTALL The installation is not
currently running. Run INGSTART then try again.
Mon Nov 18 10:54:55 2002 E_DM1001_JSP_INIT An error occurred initializing t
he journal support program. Make sure program is installed and/or you are runnin
g with proper privilege.

I checked the rights about the iimerge file in /usr/ingres/bin/

and I got a difference on the machine where ckp is working and the other :

machine dev
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ingres mem 8232960 Jul 5 2001 /usr/ingres/bin/iimerge
machine prod
-rwsr-xr-x 1 ingres mem 8232960 Jul 5 2001 /usr/ingres/bin/iimerge

the rights on the prod has an s ... this is about rights of a group.. is this part of the problem ?

Can someone give me some help about that ?
thanks

Yes. The 's' is the so-called sticky bit - it means that the program runs as if it were the user who owns the executable (i.e. ingres) not the actual user running it. To reset it log on as ingres and issue this command -

chmod 4755 /usr/ingres/bin/iimerge

Ok, thanks Paul, it works now perfectly !
