Re: Multiple informix installations.

Hi, I found a file named "onconfig" and other named "porto.onconfig" that have both defined this variables: ROOTNAME rootdbs ROOTPATH /dev/ridsporto ROOTOFFSET 4 DBSERVERNAME portoMSGPATH /informix/portoonline.log ... > dd if=<ROOTPATH> bs=4k count=1 skip=<ROOTOFFSET> | od -c I tryed this command but a couldn't see any compreensible information, it seems like ascii code (\\0 \\b 001 9 ....). > This will display the first reserved page of the server. You will see the > name of the server in the output, usually something like INFORMIX DYNAMIC > SERVER or IBM INFORMIX DYNAMIC SERVER. Then near the middle of the page a > string like 7.31 or 9.40 telling you what version of the server it was. I found a file named ".conf.porto" that has got inside this piece of text: "Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.21.UC5" >Once you have done that you'll know which install directory holds the >version you want so set: > > export INFORMIXDIR=<install dir path> > export INFORMIXSERVER=<SERVERNAME parameter value from onconfig file> > export ONCONFIG=<name of the matching onconfig file>> > Then you can try to start the engine: > > oninit -v I tryed "export INFORMIXSERVER=porto" "export ONCONFIG=onconfig" "oninit -v" wich returned: Message 35593 not found. succeeded Message 35541 not found. Message 12759 not found. FAILED Then I tryed: "export ONCONFIG=porto.onconfig" "oninit -v" but I got the same result. What do you suggest?? Thank you very much.
