There are 2 possible reasons for this failure, but first, be sure to
repair disk permissions.
a) You could be running out of memory (hard drive space) on the computer. Please make sure you have at least 1GB of free space because we create a lot of short lived temporary files.
b) Go to /Library/Application Support/Daylite Server/Logs/Daylite Configd.log and check to see if see the following text pattern:
FATAL: pre-existing shared memory block (key 0, ID 65544) is still in use
If you see that text, then you can try to reboot the server to see if the shared memory block is released. If it is not, do the following in Terminal:
sudo ipcrm -m 65544
The ID number (65544 in this case) is important. It will be different for everyone.
Please make sure that no postgres process owned by _dayliteserver is running (check in Activity Monitor) when you execute this command. If the postgres process is running, the memory block will not be released.
NOTE: You must have admin (or root) access to do any of this. Also, please inform us if you encounter this problem, so we can keep track of how often it occurs. This should be a very rare error.
