How do I tell the installation > scripts that the informix user it is looking for is called 'informix_u'? You MUST use user/group informix. Just install in a different directory and use a unique server number and name. Setting the variables INFORMIXDIR, INFORMIXSERVER, and ONCONFIG controls which instance a user points to, it is that easy so don't sweat it. Just use user informix. Art S. Kagel
