The shared mem got left around after Apache crashed. Assuming you are on Linux try:
ipcs # check for zero access count... ipcrm shm XXXXXX # will remove the offending shmem id
ipcs will give you something like: ... 0x0102c028 776437784 rederpj 600 56344 6 ...
ipcrm shm 776437784
will clear it up...

Hi all,
My Apache server just went down, and now refuses to come up, logging the following message:
[Wed Oct 01 11:16:12 2003] [error] Cannot allocate shared memory: (17)File exists
There is no record of which module is emitting this message, nor does the message say which file this is referring to. Anyone know?
