Server not running after reboot

Posted in 2011

Summary

Hernando Duque's Informix Developer Edition 11.70 on Windows Vista stopped responding after a reboot, with error 908 from dbaccess. Art Kagel said to set the IBM Informix Dynamic Server Message Service and the Informix IDS server service to Automatic startup in Windows Services and start them manually once. Obnoxio The Clown gave the same advice. The original poster did not reply in the thread.

Hi to all, After installing the Informix Developer Edition on a Windows Vista PC I've configured the server as requested and it was running fine. From within dbaccess I've created and populated several databases. But after rebooting de PC the service seems like if it is not starting. ILogin is not conecting any more. I've double checked environment variables: INFORMIXDIR=C:\\\\PROGRA~1\\\\IBM\\\\Informix\\\\11.70REGMACHINE=\\\\\\\\MYPCNAME INFORMIXSERVER=ol_informix1170 ONCONFIG=onconfig.ol_informix1170 PATH=C:\\\\PROGRA~1\\\\IBM\\\\Informix\\\\11.70\\\\bin-.-.-.etc When I try to connect to ol_informix1170 server from whithn dbaccess I get 908 error. What am I doing wrong? Any help will be apreciated. Hernando.

Go into the Windows Control Panel, select "Administrative Tools" then select "Services" from there. Find the following IBM Informix services: - IBM Informix Dynamic Server Message Service - Informix IDS - <servername> Mark both services for "Automatic" startup and manually start them initially. After that you should be able to shutdown an reboot and the server will be automatically online. Art Art S.

Go into Control Panel | services and start Informix. Mark it to start automatically. -- Cheers, Obnoxio The Clown http://obotheclown.blogspot.com I will now proceed to pleasure myself with this fish.
