Robert, First , you need to make sure all ldm processes are gone. Do: % ldmadmin clean % ldmadmin stop % ldmadmin clean % ps -eaf | grep ldm % rpcinfo -p Now try to start the ldm from home on the command line : % bin/rpc.ldmd -vl - -q data/ldm.pq etc/ldmd.conf This should show the problem. If it still doesn't start, comment out all the entries in the ldmd.conf file, then start the LDM. Uncomment the entries one at a time until you find the problem. Robb...
