Try: "cd $INFORMIXDIR" and see where you end up, or: "env | grep INFORMIXDIR" and see what it is set to. You must be sure that it is correct. >What is wrong ? Which message file ? The name of the message file is defined as MSGPATH in your $INFORMIXDIR/etc/onconfig file. It should be something like: MSGPATH /usr/informix/online.log # System message log file path I do not recall ever having to create the initial file, but you may have to do so using the "touch" command: "touch online.log" (after you change to the right directory of course), and make sure it is owned by user "informix" and has "rw informix". If you change your onconfig file, you need to bring the server down and up again for it to re-read the file, you should then see an entry in your message file saying what was changed between stop and start (i.e., it found the message file :-) Lee ---------------------------------------------------------- lee@ChilliSource.com www.ChilliSource.com -- The Home of Database Design Studio
