RE: Can not install IDS7.30TC9 successfully as stand alone on NT4

Hi Murray, thanks for reply. Yes, TC9 does work on NT4-sp4. In fact I think TC9 will work as high as SP6a, TC7 will run as high as SP5 so there should be no problems with version (i think?). This machine was previously running TC7. Any other ideas? Regards, Bryce Stenberg.

Might need TC10 for NT SP4 (which one of our customers is running on SP4). Was TC9 installed on SP4 previously?

It use to run IDS7.30TC9 as our production server on our domain. It has now been retired. I am trying to set it up as a demonstration machine to take to the U.S. this Sunday but I can not get Informix server to install successfully as a stand alone server (ie. no domain). I've totally removed the previous Informix installation - including the common registry keys that always get left behind - and deleted all related directories. I've also removed the existing local 'Informix' user account and the local 'admin-admin' group. I boot up locally with no networking logging on as the local administrator. I install Informix - 'Server' only. (the server instance is to be called 'dbServerHRNZ') It proceeds happily until it tries to initialise the server where it spits the dummy and says: "INSTALLATION MESSAGE - Unable to initialize the Dynamic Server. Check Event Viewer's Security Log and d:\\informix\\dbServerHRNZ.log file for additional information. The event viewer has two related messages in the security log: 1) Source: OnLine Type: Error dbServerHRNZ: Internal Subsystem failure: 'MT' Attempting to bring listener thread down. 2) Source: OnLine Type: Information dbServerHRNZ: PANIC: Attempting to bring system down. The Informix server log has this: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thu Nov 30 16:53:52 2000 16:53:52 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off) 16:53:58 Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.TC9 Software Serial NumberAAC#Jxxxxxx 16:53:58 listener-thread: err = -25572: oserr = 2: errstr = : Networkdriver cannot bind a name to the port. System error = 2. 16:53:58 Attempting to bring listener thread down 16:53:58 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down <<<<<<<<<<<<<< So, please, does anyone have any ideas what may be going wrong? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Time is rapidly running out for me to have this up and running. I'm guessing it is something to do with having been previously installed on the domain but I can not find any references left anywhere that point to the domain. It installs as a 'local' server when going through the installation screens. Regards, Bryce Stenberg.
