I do not know exactly what the original history error was, but once I went through your proceedure a number of times, it came good, but.... The version I have is 2.3.3 and history setup is touch history makedbz -i mv history.n.* history.* The limits error was because I added a newsgroup by hand, which is a no-no with the db. I used to do this before with the flat file history. I think using makehistory after hand adding the newsgroup may have been a factor. With 2.3.3 and empty I have a history.dir/hash/index, but no pag yet. I'm just trying to get suck to feed some stuff into it atm. BTW, it doesn't like innd start either. I guess there has been some version changes.
