Cannot load mod_xmiddle.so into server: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied.

This error can occur on Red Hat when SELinux is enabled. To disable it do the following:

• As root, run system-config-securitylevel

• Select SELinux Tab.

• In the "Modify SELinux Policy" box, expand "HTTPD Service"

• Tick the box "Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon"

• Click [ OK ]

• Click [ YES ]

API module structure `xmiddle_module' in file XXX is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

Ensure that you have chosen the correct installation for your system. For example, this error can occur when SLES 9 files are installed on a SLES 10.

Ensure that the version of Apache you are installing on is either v2.0 or v2.2. Other versions are not supported.

Failed to bind to <port number>, port already in use

The port specified on the Listen directive in Apache's configuration file is already being used by another application. Change this to a port number not being used.

No error on command line, but Apache is not responding.

Check Apache's error_log file for error messages from the Portus server.

The default location of the Apache error_log is [SOAG_INST]/apache2/logs/error_log replacing [SOAG_INST] with the location you installed Portus in.

A SOAP Fault is generated

Check the associated message in the <soap:faultString> element for error explanation. There may also be further messages available in the Apache's error_log.

The default location of the Apache error_log is [SOAG_INST]/apache2/logs/error_log replacing [SOAG_INST] with the location you installed Portus in.

Abend S0C1 in module SAFASG

When the Portus server is running with Security Level = User or Password and is protected by Adabas SAF this abend indicates that SAFASG has not been linked correctly, please revisit the Security Section and relink SAFASG accordingly.

Command 'LF' for dbid=212, fnr=9, Rsp 17 (Invalid file number)

This error indicates you are accessing a file (number 9) that does not exist on the Adabas database (ID=212). For example, you may be running a installation verfication test, and the standard demo files ("Employees" and "Vehicles") delivered with Adabas have not been installed, or have not been installed in the standard locations.

Ensure the 2 following directives are enabled in your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf)

SSLRandomSeed connect builtin

If running on z/OS or z/VSE ensure the server is not active when submitting jobs which copy content to the Portus file system.
