informix dynamic server on linux help

Hi all, I am an informix newbie, and i have problems running it on redhat linux 6.0. The installation went just fine, but now when i start dbaccess and try to create a new database i get this error message: 25584: Network driver can not access server program /opt/informix/lib/sqlexecmy sqlhost looks as follows: amouna onipcpip lake.arrow sqlexec and i don't see any services file in the /etc directory. I think that my sqlhost is the source of the problem, but i have no clue why. any suggestions ??? thanx in advance mark

You may also need to create a file /etc/services with an entry: sqlexec 1525/tcp # Informix databases There may be other issues too, but they're reasonable starters... -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.62 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>

something wrong in your sqlhosts file. Linux IDS only supports "onipcshm" or "onsoctcp". Look into the release notes for more details: $INFORMIXDIR/release/en_us/0333/IDS_7.3 etc.... > Hi all, > > I am an informix newbie, and i have problems running it on redhat linux 6.0. > The installation went just fine, but now when i start dbaccess and try to > create a new database i get this error message: > 25584: Network driver can not access server program > /opt/informix/lib/sqlexec> my sqlhost looks as follows: > > amouna onipcpip lake.arrow sqlexec > > and i don't see any services file in the /etc directory.

You must have a services file in /etc not $INFOMRIXDIR/etc if you dont then you have other problems. Make sure of that issue and let me know if you are stil having trouble. ----- Original Message ----- From: <daniel.ho@durablemetal.com> To: <comp.databases.informix@list.deja.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 1999 3:41 AM Subject: Re: informix dynamic server on linux help > Message from the Deja.com forum: > comp.databases.informix > Your subscription is set to individual email delivery > > > something wrong in your sqlhosts file. > Linux IDS only supports "onipcshm" or "onsoctcp". > Look into the release notes for more details: > $INFORMIXDIR/release/en_us/0333/IDS_7.3 etc.... > > > > Hi all, > > > > I am an informix newbie, and i have problems running it on redhat linux 6.0. > > The installation went just fine, but now when i start dbaccess and try to > > create a new database i get this error message: > > 25584: Network driver can not access server program > > /opt/informix/lib/sqlexec> > my sqlhost looks as follows: > > > > amouna onipcpip lake.arrow sqlexec > > > > and i don't see any services file in the /etc directory.
