I am trying to configure INN 1.4 for SCO UNIX SYSVR3.2v4.2
and the innd daemon won't load, leaving the following messages
in my syslog file:

innd: ME descriptors 60
innd: ME outgoing 45
innd: cant dbminit ME no such file or directory

My newsfeeds file is as follows:

ME:*::

I figured, just keep it simple until it works.

In all the faqs, tutorials, etc., I can find no references to
the errors I'm getting. Before I tear the rest of my hair out,
I will see if any of you fine folks can help me.

Do this as news in your news library directory:

	touch history history.dir history.pag

and try it again.  I think the error means your history file is missing.

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

  It seems that you might have some history database files(s) lost.

 ->  check and see if all the three files exist :
   $(NEWSLIB)/history
   $(NEWSLIB)/history.dir
   $(NEWSLIB)/history.pag

PS. It is documented in the INN FAQ, part 2.

	1. Log in as 'news'

	2. cd $HOME/bin

	3. ./makehistory

	4. cd ..

	5. mv history.n.pag history.pag

	6. mv history.n.dir history.dir

	7. start innd
