Help : Installation Problems

Hi, I have 3 CD's of Informix that I have to install on a AIX operating system. Question 1 - Im trying to install on a AIX 4.2 Motorola Powerstack with Informix Licenses for AIX 4.3 for a Bull machine, is there any problem on that ? - Informix SQL 7.30.UC1 contains SQL.TAR - then, I execute the installsql (with license keys) - Informix SQL 7.30 UC1 contains SQLRT.TAR - then, I execute the installsqlrt (with license keys) - Informix SQL 7.31 UC4-1 Contains Informix Dynamic Server Workgroup Edition I executed installconn, then installserver (with license keys) Question 2 - I executed by this order, is it right ? First of all, I set the environment variables INFORMIXSERVER, INFORMIXTERM, INFORMIXDIR, SQLEXEC, DBLANG, INFORMIXSQLHOSTS .. Question 3 - Are these variables enough ? After that I runned the command mkdev -l aio0 because of errors on libc.a Question 4 - I have invalid serial key running any on* file : oninit, onmonitor, ...: I used the same license for IDS Workgroup ED on the Connect and Server installation (I dont have other), is this OK? Question 5 - What have I to configure after installation, I heard about sqlhosts and onconfig, how can I configure these files ? Are there any more files to configure ? Question 6 - I runned the isqldemo that gave me an error about not having INFORMIXSERVER on sqlhosts file or in the registry, and when I runned the isql I had no output. Do I need to install more software ? Thanks in Advance, JG (UADC) -- Posted via CNET Help.com http://www.help.com/

Normaly you only need to install the server (installserver). > Question 2 - I executed by this order, is it right ? > First of all, I set the environment variables INFORMIXSERVER, > INFORMIXTERM, INFORMIXDIR, SQLEXEC, DBLANG, INFORMIXSQLHOSTS .. Answer 2: You only need to set the following variables: - INFORMIXDIR=...;export INFORMIXDIR - INFORMIXSERVER=...;export INFORMIXSERVER - ONCONFIG=....;export ONCONFIG - PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin;export PATH INFORMIXSQLHOSTS is needed if the sqlhosts-file is not in the directory $INFORMIXDIR/etc AND the name is not sqlhosts. DBLANG is needed if you want to use message-files other then the us-english message-files. SQLEXEC is not needed in Version 7.x . INFORMIXTERM is needed if you to use the terminfo-files (INFORMIXTERM=terminfo;export TERMINFO). If you don't set INFORMIXTERM, termcap is used. Set TERMCAP=$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap if you want to use the informix-termcap. > Question 3 - Are these variables enough ? > After that I runned the command mkdev -l aio0 because of errors on libc.a see answer 2 > Question 4 - I have invalid serial key running any on* file : oninit, > onmonitor, ...: I used the same license for IDS Workgroup ED on the > Connect and Server installation (I dont have other), is this OK? see answer 1 > Question 5 - What have I to configure after installation, I heard about > sqlhosts and onconfig, how can I configure these files ?

Do I need to install more software ? answer 6 if your server isn't running and correctly configured the isqldemo script doesn't run.
