DBSPAWN ERROR: -81
Invalid database server command line
Server failed to start
Possible cause:
- Port number invalid or already in use
However the specified port number is not invalid and does not use by other processes.
We can see the message "Invalid database server command line".
But we cannot find any invalid startup options in the configuration file.
$ cat testdb.cfg
-n testdb
-x tcpip{port=41753}
