I'm trying to get Apache+php+informix working from Linux web server to SCO Unix Informix SE database. It's not working and I'm attempting to pinpoint where it's failing. When I enter "isql" from client, the remote databases appear instantly. When I try to connect using db-access, after I provide username and password, the connection stalls for about 30 seconds, and then returns error -908 Attempt to connect to database server (servername) failed. I've tested dbaccess from another nearly identical linux box to the same Informix SE server and it works fine. What might be the problem? (Database server: Informix SE 7.12.UC1 on SCO Unix Client: Apache+php 3.0.12 + Informix Client SDK 2.10.UC3 on linux) -- Carrie Coy
