Sybase IQ Will Not Start

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

Possible causes include:

• Transaction Log File Does Not Match the Database
  The following 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, the following 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 filename is an illegal identifier, errors result on server startup.
• Server Port Number is Not Unique on the Machine
  If a Sybase IQ server is running and you attempt to start another Sybase IQ server on the same machine using the same port number, messages appear in the server log file (*.srvlog).
• Server Was 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 Are 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.
