Linux 6060 Errors

It is possible to receive a 6060 error if the Advantage Database Server daemon started but had a problem registering for multicast discovery packets. If this happens, you will find a detailed error message in the ads_log.txt file.

Following are known issues that can cause this behavior:

•	No default gateway assigned. The server must have a default gateway or the multicast registration will not be successful.

•	Some users have mentioned they had to enable ip forwarding to resolve this issue.

Other Linux-specific issues that can cause a 6060 error include the following:

•	Invalid or incorrect IP address in the /etc/hosts file

•	Incorrect hostname assigned. Verify the hostname returned by running the 'hostname' utility is the same as the name used in the connection string.

•	If using Samba verify the directory you are sharing is located directly off of the root. For example the Samba share \\testserv\myshare must be sharing the /myshare directory.
