INFORMIX-SE 7.X on Linux

He ! I have problem to connect to informix server SE (I use dbaccess to do this). I got error number 908 and ISAM: Record is lock. My configuration: Linux Red Hat 6.1 INFORMIXSERVER=demo_sein etc/sqlhosts demo_se sesoctcp se_demo sqlexec in /etc/hosts -> 127.0.0.1 se_demo in /etc/services -> sqlexec 1543/tcp I don't installed netcard (I don't want it). What should I do to connect to Informix server ? What's wrong ? Thank's for any help. Jacek

Hallo, Make no entries in /etc/services! 'sqlexec' needs no network to communicate with a database. Try the following entries: - $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts: demo_se seipcpip se_demo sqlexec - /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 se_demo Environment: export INFORMIXDIR=informix-install-path export INFORMIXSERVER=demo_se export PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin If you wish to use 'network' with your configuration, try the following entries: - $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts: demo_se sesoctcp se_demo sqlexecd - /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 se_demo - /etc/services: sqlexecd 1543/tcp As user root with the appropriate environment: export INFORMIXDIR=informix-install-path export INFORMIXSERVER=demo_se export PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin you have to start the sqlexecd: $INFORMIXDIR/lib/sqlexecd $INFORMIXSERVER -l /tmp/sqlexecd.log If the demon runs ok -you can see it in the logfile (/tmp/sqlexecd.log)-, you can run dbaccess to create an modify a database. regards JB wrote: > > He ! > > I have problem to connect to informix server SE (I use dbaccess to do > this). > I got error number 908 and ISAM: Record is lock. > > My configuration: > Linux Red Hat 6.1 > > INFORMIXSERVER=demo_se> in etc/sqlhosts demo_se sesoctcp se_demo sqlexec > in /etc/hosts -> 127.0.0.1 se_demo > in /etc/services -> sqlexec 1543/tcp > > I don't installed netcard (I don't want it).
