Error 1175 - Not enough segments or size is too low
If you are seeing error 1175 which says:
Maximum number of shared-memory segments per process exceeded. (1175)
the first two kernel parameters to look at are SHMMAX and SHMSEG. This
error means that we have run our of the number of available shared
memory segments. The size of these segments is determined by SHMMAX.
If SHMMAX is too low, we will need to use more of them. If SHMMAX is
set properly and you are still seeing this error, you may need to
increase SHMSEG.
SHMMAX should be set to 16,777,216 which is the maximum size of a
segment that Progress will use. This applies to all systems except
SCO UNIX because of a bug in SCO UNIX that won't allow you to attach
to more than one segment larger than 4 meg. For this reason, on
SCO UNIX, SHMMAX cannot exceed 4,194,304.
SHMSEG needs to be set depending on whether or not the problem is
resolved by setting SHMMAX to the above mentioned settings. If it is
not resolved by setting SHMMAX, try increasing SHMSEG.
