IPLOAD failure

Hi all... I just put up my first Solaris 8 machine with 9.21.fc2 (64 bit port of IDS). Everything seems to work fine (engine, dbaccess, onperf), however, ipload fails with a -25572. > Error -25572 connecting to server onpload@unxprod07_infx ! We have checked everything we can think of (sqlhosts, /etc/services, onconfig, env, etc) and tech support has the case with no suggestions yet. I even imported an "onpload" database from another server just to see what would happen since the message points to the onpload db but no luck. any ideas? b-t-w, most of the release notes for this port are in html format which makes for a challenge

Does Solaris 8 use IPv6 by default? Could that be the source of the trouble? Other people suggested 32-bit vs 64-bit issues and both "do use shared memory" and "don't use shared memory" which is a bit confusing. > b-t-w, most of the release notes for this port are in html format which > makes for a challenge You mean you have no Netscape nor even Lynx (the text mode browser) available? HTML is a pretty widely read format these days, and I'd have thought that having HTML available was a step in the right direction. Heck, I've even thought of removing the man pages from SQLCMD and replacing them with some HTML... -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"

Tech support just logged a bug against my case. By dropping back to 9.21.uc2 without changing any environment things, ipload worked fine.

It may be a step in the right direction, however it was a surprise. It just means that I need a UNIX browser running on the machine where the pages reside. Also, there is no "index" page with links to all of the docs, you need to open each one manually. > > -- > Yours, > Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> > Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN > "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
