creating new db instance (on Linux server) using DBMGui (on PC) [linux issue?]

[Jon Loken]

Hi all,

We have tried to create a new maxdb instance on a SUSE Enterprise server version 9 remotely from a PC, using DBMGUI.
[Kernel version 7.5.00.15, DBMGui version 7.5.00.18)

In the wizard, I logged on to server as 'root'. The wizard successfully creates the various data/log and backup volumes. However when the wizard tries to restart the instance I get this error message in a pop-up window:

--> -24964 error in program execution [load_systab ...]; 256,/opt/sdb/7500/bin/x_python /opt/sdb/7500/env/lsystab.py -R /opt/sdb/7500 -d HLSI -u dba,*

I then invoked the command line as specified above at a prompt on server linux machine, giving the following error:

--> loader.LoaderError: loader.LoaderError [-250041] A connection to the database could not be established: 1=cannot connect to server socket

On the linux server I made sure that volume folders all have sdb.sdba rights and that the server firewall is disabled.

Interestingly, running a 'createInstance' DBMCli script also gives the same error messages, leading to the notion that this is a Linux server issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions to what I can try in order to create this instance?

Many thanks for your help.

Does the socket really exists ? try `netstat -tupan` and/or `netstat -tupa`
