Hi,

I've built from source MonetDB and I'm following the steps at the tutorial:

I've successfully created the dbfarm but I can't proceed beyond the second step.

Monetdb returns after ~30 seconds with the following message:

$ dbms/bin/monetdbd start data/

another monetdbd is already running

I 'm sure no other monetdb instance is running in the system.

For the record, get all looks as follows:

$ dbms/bin/monetdbd get all data/

   property            value

hostname         sgs-r815-02

dbfarm           data

status           a monetdbd is serving this dbfarm, but a pidfile was not found/is corrupt

mserver          unknown (failed to connect to monetdbd)

logfile          data/merovingian.log

pidfile          data/merovingian.pid

sockdir          /tmp

port             50000

exittimeout      60

forward          proxy

discovery        true

discoveryttl     600

control          no

passphrase       <unknown>

mapisock         /tmp/.s.monetdb.50000

controlsock      /tmp/.s.merovingian.50000

I had no problems with the whole process when I installed the system on my desktop a few days ago.

Any hints ?
