Loren, This is a link to documentation on installing maxdb.
http://www.transporeon.org/download/sapdb/maxdb_installation_administrat ion.pdf I am working on a web site that uses maxdb, not on SAP Content Manager. So I have to create a database instance manually, not run a script. Inside of the script you refer to for content manager, it is creating a maxdb instance. Basically there are environment variable and library settings described in the linked pdf file. If you were to you dbmcli, the command line maxdb tool, you would probably get an error message like this: server:/opt/sdb/7500/bin# ./dbmcli -d payment ./dbmcli on payment>user_logon xxxuser,xxxpass OK ./dbmcli on payment>db_activate bayouuser,bayoupass ERR -24901,ERR_NOTADMIN: database have to be in operational state ADMIN ./dbmcli on payment>db_admin ERR -24994,ERR_RTE: runtime environment error 1,Check knldiag! Kernel died before reaching ADMIN state --- ./dbmcli on payment>db_start ERR -24994,ERR_RTE: runtime environment error 1,Check knldiag! Kernel died before reaching ADMIN state You can search in the archive for LD_APPLY_KERNEL. However reading the pdf will get you the most information. chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 8:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installing sap db 7.3 using sapinst I don't think my e-mail made it through the first time, but if it did sorry for the duplicate. **************** Not sure if this is the correct place for this but I'm having the following problem: I'm installing SAP Content Server using SAP's sapinst gui tool. I choose the option to install Content Server with the SAP DB version 7.3. Everything goes fine until the activation phase of the database which fails. Unfortunately I'm not finding any useful error messages. The ones I do get don't pull anything up anywhere when doing searches on the various websites. The SAP DB software installation finishes successfully, the problem is when it tries to create the database and then activate it. Here is what I'm getting (this is just the bottom of the sapinst.log): TRACE -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
