SAP Sybase IQ Will Not Start

If there is a problem starting the server, start_iq returns a non zero value.

There are several possible causes.

• Transaction Log File Does Not Match the Database
  Messages appear in the server log file (.srvlog) and in the window where you are starting the server:
• Server Cannot Find the Transaction Log
  If the server fails to start because it cannot find the transaction log, messages appear in the server log file.
• Server Name Is Not Unique on Your Network
  If multiple servers on your system have the same name, messages appear in the server log file (*.srvlog or the name specified in the -o startup option) when you attempt to start the server using start_iq.
• Log File Has Illegal Name
  If you specified a separate request-level logging file, but the file name is an illegal identifier, errors result on server startup.
• Server Port Number Is Not Unique on the Machine
  If an SAP Sybase IQ server is running and you attempt to start another SAP Sybase IQ server on the same machine using the same port number, messages appear in the server log file (*.srvlog).
• Server Started with an Incorrect Path
  When you start a new multiplex server, the database file path must match the database file path specified when creating that server.
• Environment Variables Not Set Correctly
  If your database configuration file parameters differ from those used by start_iq, make sure the correct parameters are used to start the server.
• You Cannot Run start_iq
  If you cannot run the start_iq command and you normally use a configuration file or other command line switches, try starting the server using only start_iq with the server name and database name.
