IDS on Red Hat Linux
Lennie Jarratt could connect locally to IDS 9.4 on Red Hat but not over the network. John Bejarano asked if the port was in the client's services file. Sean Durity pointed out that the protocol for the TCP entries should be onsoctcp, not sesoctcp, and advised a NETTYPE soctcp setting plus an engine restart. Lennie confirmed the sesoctcp typo was the cause.

I have installed IDS 9.4 on a Red Hat Linus box. I have it working fine
from the box locally. I cannot connect to the instance from the network
though. I set the port in the /etc/services file and have rebooted the
machine. What else am I missing?
ONCONFIG:
DBSERVERNAME lnx_test_shm # Name of default database
server
DBSERVERALIASES lnx_test_asx,lnx_test # List of alternate dbservernames
SQLHOSTS:
lnx_test_shm onipcshm informix lnx_test_shmlnx_test_asx sesoctcp informix 1527
lnx_test sesoctcp informix 1526

Is the port number listed in the /etc/services file of the client machine, (the machine from which you're trying to connect)? --John. --- "Jarratt, Li...." <LJarratt@co.lake.il.us> wrote: > > I have installed IDS 9.4 on a Red Hat Linus box.

On
Linux and 9.40, the protocol is onsoctcp, not sesoctcp, for your last 2
connections. You also need a NETTYPE parameter in your onconfig. Mine are
like this:
NETTYPE soctcp,2,90,NET
NETTYPE ipcshm,1,90,CPU
Probably will require an engine bounce to take effect.

Thanks
all. I had use sesoctcp instead of onsoctcp.
