It is a DNS resolver problem. When you take the DNS out of the resolv.conf so that it has to use the /etc/hosts, DDW will work. It will bring up the web pages and will allow all functions. As soon as you place it back in so it will use a DNS, it will stop working. When not working, it will allow you to select the server, then the database, then the project and then the (image, text, dynamic tags). Once you try to select any one such as "text", it will lock up. We have tested this several times and it acts the same way every time so this is definately the problem. I can get around the problem but Informix needs to know about this so they can address it. Who do you think would be the best person to send this to? Harry,
Try changing your nsswitch.conf to use hosts first. All our prod servers use files dns, our webblade installs have every similar versions to yours and I've not seen this problem hjohnson@keeneinfo.com wrote: > Paul Watson wrote: > >>Harry >> >>what you are trying to do and the versions should be fine, and we run > > >>our internal systems as you describe.
