centos 5.2 'shared memory init failed' issue - doesn't start

I am running centos 5.2 32bit and I installed FMS 3.0.2 (Tried FMS 3.0.4 also)

FMS installed just fine with the -platformWarnOnly flag.

My problem is it will not start at all, nothing starts. no logs in the /opt/adobe/fms either, I only get logs in /var/log/messages with the following

Apr  8 17:14:48 vid Server[22463]: Process (22463) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.
Apr  8 17:14:53 vid Server[22475]: Process (22475) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.
Apr  8 17:21:15 vid Server[22733]: Process (22733) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.
Apr  8 17:21:20 vid Server[22745]: Process (22745) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.

I also did a ldd on fmsmaster and symlinked "libasneu.so.1 => not found" to the real file, that did nothing.

Here are some of the rpms that im pretty sure are needed.

[root@vid fms]# rpm -qa | grep compat
compat-gcc-34-g77-3.4.6-4
compat-libgcc-296-2.96-138
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26

[root@vid9 fms]# rpm -qa | grep nspr
nspr-devel-4.7.3-2.el5
nspr-4.7.3-2.el5

Would appreciate any help guys!!

I also googled my error and there is one post with no answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/105674#105674

    Looks like it was my sysctl settings!! I wipped them clean, rebooted and fms started right up!!

    What are the permissions on the tmp directory?

    April 9, 2009

    tmp/ is (/opt/adobe/fms/tmp) 777 and owned by root, I even tried chown'ing to the user that runs fms, no luck.

    tmp gets created when i run it the FIRST time:

    [root@vid10 fms]# ls -al tmp/
    total 8
    drwxrwxrwx  2 admin admin 4096 Apr  8 21:15 .
    drwxr-xr-x 11 admin admin 4096 Apr  8 21:09 ..
    -rwxrwxrwx  1 admin admin    0 Apr  8 21:09 __FCS__serverstats__shm_mem
    -rwxrwxrwx  1 admin admin    0 Apr  8 21:09 __FCS__serverstats__shm_mtx

    Could it be something with the shm setting, maybe sysctl?

    I have 4GB of ram in this machine.  Same exact machine works perfect on rhel 4

    I appreciate your quick reply.
