Virtuoso 7.1 crashes on startup

[larsga]

Not knowing any other way to stop Virtuoso than with kill, I killed the Virtuoso process (with no flags), and now it refuses to start up. On start, the server says the following:

To shutdown the Virtuoso server your can always connect with the isql commandline tool and run:

checkpoint;
shutdown;

to stop the Virtuoso server ...

Due to the error you are getting, I would suggest checking if there is a virtuoso.trx file of more than 0 bytes in place, and if so, rename it, and restart the server, such that it does not read the trx file, and see if that enables the server to start?

If not then you may have to perform a crash recovery and restore of the database as detailed in the documentation.

Hi I experienced the same problem, it crashes after a few minutes, and the log shows the following :

19:12:46 Server received signal 11. Continuing with the default action for that signal.

First thing, if you're not certain you're running with the latest 7.2.8 binary, I would strongly advise you plan to apply this update after resolving this crash-near-launch, as the new version brings MANY fixes and enhancements relative to previous 7.x versions.

Next, it's worth discovering and telling us the exact version of Virtuoso you're running, which will be revealed by the first stanza of output from virtuoso-t -?. There may be specific guidance to provide, depending on this detail.

The advice provided earlier on this issue is a good starting point toward resolving this for you. Please let us know what your experience is, when following that guidance.
