I just yum updated a CentOS box to 5.2 (kernel

now openserctl start no longer works. When I try it, I get this in the
messages file:
Jun 27 08:44:49 proxy1 openser: CRITICAL:core:shm_getmem: could not attach
shared memory segment: Invalid argument
Jun 27 08:44:49 proxy1 openser: CRITICAL:core:init_shm_mallocs: could not
initialize shared memory pool, exiting...
I can start openser with /usr/local/sbin/openser, and it starts fine. The
openserctlrc file is the same as it is on each server I have, it works
everywhere else. I try turning up logging, turning on debug, and I get
nothing but those two lines in the log.
Any ideas? Where do I start to troubleshoot this?
Hi Michael,
please don't hijack an existing mail thread for your questions, use a new one
instead.
This error message could indicate that the server requested to much memory if
started from this script. Perhaps the new kernel setup a smaller limit for
the SHMMAX parameter? The reason that it works with the init script could be
that this starts the server with fewer shared memory. Try to decrease the
shared memory pool setting for openser.
Cheers,
Henning
