I tried again and could [U]not[/U] reproduce the problem. Last time I was probably confused by some old mserver.exe executable I had lying around. I updated
to the most recent version (3516) and did a [B]C:\midas> nmake -f makefile.nt[/B]. Last time I was also confused about the low rate, but that was caused
by a mserver.exe executable which was not compiled with optimization. For small event sizes (such as 10 bytes) there is a big difference between optimized |

Thanks for your help. I tried again and it got me back to the initial problem I had.
The frontend will start, and the analyzer starts (complains about there not being a
last.root, but other than that it's fine), and then when starting mlogger, I get:

That sounds like you mix versions: You have an old executable (maybe your mlogger) which
has been linked against the old midas version, but you create the ODB with the new
odbedit or frontend. The new version complains if it finds an ODB from a previous version

That's strange. Since mhttpd is single threaded, there should not be any multi-thread/process conflict there, since the elog files cannot be written simultaneously |

Since nobody complained so far, I increased MAX_EVENT_SIZE to 2MB. If anybody has problems with this setting, please report. Note that after updating to
SVN revision 3327 it will be necessary to recompile [U]all[/U] midas programs and to delete any old [B]SYSTEM.SHM[/B] or [B].SYSTEM.SHM[/B]. I added some
code which should check for inconsistent SYSTEM.SHM sizes, but I'm not sure if it works everywhere. |
