RE: id10t error

I should follow this up. I was under the impression that my INFORMIXDIR had been exported because my .bashrc file does so and I could in fact echo INFORMIXDIR, and run dbaccess (which could only be found if the PATH (which includes INFORMIXDIR/bin) were ok). Granted I am "su -" ing to informix to start things (have not bothered with an init setup), and informix has it's own .bashrc which also exports INFORMIXDIR. Let's remove the "su -" from the equation. Yup, it is not getting the INFORMIXDIR from the .bashrc export. Which does an explicit INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix followed by an export INFORMIXDIR.... or would ifINFORMIXDIR were not spelled with an I between the X and the D - as I was saying: id10t. Sure enough - fix the typo and everything is fine. j. Sane ego te vocavi.

Org Subject: id10t error Creating infos file ""...FAILED Happened on my sandbox, I'd been ignoring it because IDS started and worked just fine - just that onstat/onmode commands didn't work. Finally decided to fix it, googled all over the place - there's this one guy with my name who suggests exporting INFORMIXDIR before running oninit - but of course that can't be the problem. But you eliminate all the things it can't be and you are left with the only thing it could possibly be - let's just try exporting that before doing the oninit. Whaddya know: Creating infos file "/opt/informix/etc/.infos.mordor"...succeeded What an idiot. The error was right there the whole time >""<, in other words: "I don't know where to create this thing". cheers j. Sane ego te vocavi.
