We are in the process of moving webinator from a sparc 5 to a sparc 10. On
the new machine we are getting the following error when adding a single url
to be walked.
Corrupt start pointers in KDBF file
/usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/buildnetpro.com/htdocs/webinator/buildnetpending/
refs.tbl in the function kdbf_read_start
This indicates the file is corrupt. The most likely culprit is
running out of disk space (or exceeding quota/ulimit) at some point: did
this happen to the database before it was transferred? Or on the new
machine? Check quotas/ulimit on both.
Also, make sure all files are transferred in binary mode when using
FTP, and only between machines with the same architecture (ie. the file
formats are hardware-dependent).
Make sure the database files are being transferred correctly. If the
original database on the original machine is still generating corrupt
errors, you will have to wipe and re-walk the database.
