If you edit your configuration file manually, check the cache, pool, and wash sizes carefully. Certain configuration file errors can cause start-up failure:

In most cases, problems with missing entries are reported as “unknown format” errors on lines immediately following the entry where the size, status, or other information was omitted. Other errors provide the name of the cache where the error occurred and the type of error. For example, you see this error if the wash size for a pool is specified incorrectly:

The wash size for the 4k buffer pool in cache pubs_cache has been incorrectly configured. It must be a minimum of 10 buffers and a maximum of 80 percent of the number of buffers in the pool.
