Error 25591: Transport control received an invalid connection address when accessing database via seipcpip method

Hello, i´ve installed an Informix SE 7.24UC5 server on a Linux system (SuSE 6.2 with Kernel 2.2.10). I´ve defined two methods to access the server in /usr/lib/informix/etc/sqlhosts infse_local seipcpip lb-is01.jetsys.de sqlexec infse_net sesoctcp lb-is01.jetsys.de sqlexecd_se If INFORMIXSERVER is set to infse_local and i call dbaccess and then the DATABASE -> SELECT dialogue i got error 25591. There is no problem if i start the sqlexecd and set INFORMIXSERVER to infse_net. Is there something wrong with my sqlhosts entries for the local connection? Greetings, Joerg

Do you have a DBSERVERALIAS defined for infse_net in the ONCONFIG file? Is the hostname as reported by uname -a really: lb-is01.jetsys.de? Are you using shadow passwords? (Password shadowing and Informix do not seem to play well together.) Art S.

OOOPPSS, I did not notice this is SE! You must start a listener process: $INFORMIXDIR/lib/sqlexecd sqlexecd_se with the environment setup like a local shared memory client. Art S.

Of course i´ve started a listener process for the infse_net connection like you explained above. Connecting with dbaccess to infse_net is not a problem. What doesn´t work is the local connection via named pipes (i think that what seipcpip means). Connecting to infse_local gives me Error 25591. Greetings, Joerg
