Last week we had a user do a chown -R on our informix binaries directory. Since then I have changed it back by doing a chown -R informix:informix on the binaries (that is supposidly how the were created) Now, when I try to restart our informix server using oninit... it just hangs and then eventually kills itself... not leaving any messages.. any ideas? Thanks

Hi! Maybe your guess on ownership was not exaxtly accurate. Install informix in a completely separate directory and compare permissions for all files.

if you have the file informix.rc you can construct the proper perms for all your files. look for it in INFORMIXDIR "Neil P." wrote: > Last week we had a user do a chown -R on our informix binaries directory. > Since then I have changed it back by doing a chown -R informix:informix on > the binaries (that is supposidly how the were created) Now, when I try to > restart our informix server using oninit... it just hangs and then > eventually kills itself... not leaving any messages.. any ideas?
