Re: Running dbaccess remotely

Yew You are unable to run dbaccess from host B because dbaccess is not in your PATH in host B because Infomix is not installed on host B. Since you are using Perl I would suggest using DBI and DBD::Informix Perl modules to make the remote connection (they are downloadable from CPAN). The other (probably quicker) option is to install Informix (to be able to run dbaccess) on host B but keep your database on host A and connect remotely. You would need to make sure that your /etc/services and /etc/hosts files on host B contain references to host A, but you probably have already done that.

Qn: how can I do it? A bit of background to this problem: Host B is actually a Web server containing some perl scripts. These perl scripts are invoked by the web server to get data from host A. The perl script uses dbaccess to do so. I did my development with both Infromix and web server on the same host, everything is OK. In the production env, I hit a problem: the perl script complains that dbaccess not found. I have no idea how to fix this problem as Informix is still very alien to me....:-< If you have any idea on how to fix this problem, would really appreciate if you can show me the light! I'm desperate for a solution...THANKS in advance! Warmest regards, Yew Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
