Progress : Connection fails with dbDelUsrctl: SemLockLog Error 13

When I try to connect with the "data manager" on a running progress database (openedge 10.1C) I get the error dbDelUsrctl: SemLockLog error 13 on the log file. The openedhe runs on Windows server 2008. Now the logfile exists but it is 4GB big. The rights on the file are ok. I can perfectly connect to other databases on the same system.

How can I solve this ?

Thx K

Is the .lg file exactly 4GB? Problems that occur when files hit powers of two are always suspicious.

Either way try:

1) Truncate the .lg file (prolog dbname [-online]) and try again.

or

2) Or copy/rename it if you want to preserve it.

And follow Jensd's advice.

1) Double check permissions again. Error 13 generally means that you don't have permission to access a file. Check the folders as well as the files.

2) Try to connect as root (or administrator since you're on Windows).

3) Search the Progress KnowledgeBase. There are several entries for your specific error.

Even if the log file is 4GB you should be able to open it even if it takes some time (or get a windows utility similar to "tail").
