Running dbaccess remotely

I'm a newbie in Informix and is desperately looking for a solution to the following problem I have: 1) I'm running Informix (7.x) on host A. 2) I'm trying to run dbaccess (on host A) remotely from host B. 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.

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Hallo, <p>you must install&nbsp; on B some informix software containing dbaccess, informix-connect and you'll be able to connect to informix on A after configuring some things. I hope, your web server runs on linux and you've evaluation software for free. <br>The second possibility would be to change your cgi programs to start&nbsp; the perl scripts 'really' remotely (via remsh, rsh, ...) on A. <p>Ch. <p>cyewmeng@my-deja.com wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE>I'm a newbie in Informix and is desperately looking for a solution to <br>the following problem <br>I have: <p>1) I'm running Informix (7.x) on host A. <br>2) I'm trying to run dbaccess (on host A) remotely from host B. <br>Qn: how can I do it? <p>A bit of background to this problem: <br>Host B is actually a Web server containing some perl scripts.
