Re: IDS 730 Install Problem

It should actually be a link to the real device or file for the root dbspace. The actual device / file must have owner and group of informix with permissions of 660 (rw-rw----). If not, login as root and make it so: chown informix /opt/informix/online_root/online_root ghgrp informix /opt/informix/online_root/online_root chmod 660 /opt/informix/online_root/online_root That should do it. ________________________________________________________________________ Ron Flannery <mailto:rflanner@informixhandbook.com>, 248-887-8470x40 Lead author, Informix Handbook President, One Point Solutions "Your Complete Reference" "Informix & Web/Database solutions" http://www.informixhandbook.com http://www.one-point.com ________________________________________________________________________
