Thanks bw. I am not sure what to make of the show server output. But
it does not seem write that cache buckets is reported as zero when SYS
$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT specifies that CACHE_BUCKETS = 512. Also
the SHOW MEMORY/POOL seems to indicate plenty of available space in
non-paged pool. I am just trying a very basic InfoServer setup at this
point. This is the first and only configuration of an InfoServer
service that has been attempted on this system. Is there any other
configuration setup required for this most basic of setups for the
InfoServer software?
