Hello all. I am currently having difficulty reconfiguring my lab's
Informix database to support network connections. We are running Informix
Universal Server 9.12.UC2X21 on a Solaris 2.6 platform. I can, using the
old onconfig and sqlhosts files, bring the DB server on-line, but it does
not respond to attempts to connect to it via the network. When I use the
new onconfig and sqlhosts files, with an entry in /etc/services to
establish a port number for Informix, I am unable to bring the server
online. Perusing the log file, I get the following:
listener-thread: err = -25572: oserr = 0: errstr = : Network driver cannot
bind a name to the port.
Assert Failed: Attempting to bring listener thread down
...PANIC: Attempting to bring system down
My suspicion is that this isn't an Informix problem, but a system problem.
However, I am uncertain where to begin to look for help. Can anyone
provide suggestions, advice, pointers to appropriate documentation?
Much thanks,
