Re: Install problem NewEra 3.1: can't make private workspace
Just want to mention some more issues to this topic: - Very poor behaviour if 3.0 and 3.1 of NewEra behave that different. - Reading the Installation Guide, you can see, that the Microsoft TCP/IP stack is a MUST - and it turns out, that the comment, that FTP's OnNet stack won't work, is absolutely true. That means, for a company running OnNet on ALL machines, that Informix caused a real problem. - Switching from FTP's stack to the MS stack will need a re-install of NewEra 3.1 ... - Trying to update with FTP's stack will cause the private workspace to be deleted ... Who has an idea what charming feature of the MS TCP/IP stack caused this ??
