Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Linux Intel
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
SYMPTOM(s):
The file DBname exists. This indicates one of: (528)
The database is in use by another user. (529)
The last session terminated abnormally. (530)
If you are CERTAIN the database is not in use by any user or server, (531)
simply erase DBname.lk and try again. (532)
CAUSE:
Progress bug# 20000719-007
FIX:
Progress uses a C function called 'gethostname' to determine a UNIX machine's hostname. If the hostname is longer than 28 characters Linux returns a null string to Progress, as opposed to a truncated name, as seen with other UNIX operating systems. To determine the length of your hostname, run the 'hostname' command at the UNIX shell prompt. To change the name of your Linux hostname, type 'hostname <newhostname>' (where <newhostname> is 27 characters or less). This operation will require ROOT permission.
