Does it mean that your INFORMIXDIR is '/u01/app/informix-7.31/server'?

So, you did:
cd $INFORMIXDIR
mkdir demo
chmod 777 demo
cd demo
mkdir server
chmod 777 server
cd server
cat /dev/null > online_root
chown informix:informix online_root
chmod 666 online_root
If yes - I don't know what to say. Errno = 2 is:
#define ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */

thanks to all participants. I finally managed to install Informix 7.31 on
AIX433. The problems that I have been experiencing where two-fold. For
whatever reason, the Informix install did not pick up the environment
variables that I had set in AIX433. As a result, I had to figure out for
myself what path to use for tape devices etc and log files etc.
The other problem was that I failed to configure the onconfig.demo file
properly. I was under the impression that DBSERVERNAME was to point to the
hostname. Once I figured out my mistake and rectified it, all was well.
I did the same install on AIX51 afterwards, without a glitch. No problems
with environment variables at all. Don't know what was wroing with AIX433.
I have done basic installs of Informix 9.3 on AIX, SCO, Solaris, HP-UX, SGI,
and Linux. I found it fairly straightforward. However, I found 7.31 install
rather tedious.
Many thanks once again.
