I get the following error when installing Texis. I am installing it as the webserver user and permissions are set correctly.

Unknown Version 3.01.979090454 of Jan 10, 2001 (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1)

Yes we are running Apache 1.3.22(Unix) and I tested the CGI variables using a simple perl script that displays all system variables and everything appears to be correct.

It looks like texis is having trouble reading/writing it's license. Run ipcs to find the owner of the shared mem with a key like 0xdbaccee#. And to make sure you're not out of shared mems.

INSTALLDIR/texis/monitor.log might have more info about the error.

Thanks for the help. One of my co-workers had a test of AltaVista running on the box and it had taken up all of the available shared memory. Rebooted the machine and now Vortex works.

So, I guess we can add AltaVista to the list of software that "doesn't play well with others".
