Help Requested: Error 25592 Installing SE 7.24 on AIX 4

Informix SE Version: 7.24UC7 AIX Version: 4.3.2 I have just installed Informix on this box. When I try to bring up sqlexecd I get error 25592 "Communications service not supported by network driver" I am trying to start the process as root. My environment variables look like this: INFORMIXDIR=/usr/informix INFORMIXSERVER=mis_se DBPATH=/mis (Path to the mis.dbs directory) INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=/usr/informix/etc/sqlhosts My sqlhosts file looks like this: tool_se seipcpip clm sqlexec mis_se seipcpip clm sqlexec All files have the appropriate permissions and are owned by informix. It looks to me like there is a Unix service that I need to start. The release notes mention that the Portable Streams Environment and Asynchronous I/O need to be loaded and I have done that as well. Can anyone tell me the step I am missing? Thanks In Advance Dave Thacker

Do the release notes state that pipe connections are supported on AIX? They are not supported on all platforms! The release notes list all of the supported connection types. Art S.

What does your /etc/hosts file look like ?

The mis_se entry says to use pipes, not network connections. Change the protocol to setlitcp or sesoctcp (see your release notes), and it should then work. The local clients on the clm machine can use tool_se or mis_se; the remote clients will then use mis_se. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
