RE: Red Hat Linux IDS Installation Problems

Looks like INFORMIXSERVER environment variable is not set (tin_ids). Also check INFORMIXDIR, $INFORMIXDIR/bin in PATH and ONCONFIG are all set.

The problem I'm having: I initialize with oninit -i, then onstat -m give me these errors 04:38:09 Building 'sysmaster' database ... 04:38:16 Error building 'sysmaster' database. 04:38:16 See '/tmp/buildsmi.4347'. Our System info: Red Hat Linux V6.0 Engine: 7.3.UC7-2 /usr/informix/sqlhosts: tin_ids sesoctcp tin.bdsn.com ids1 /etc/services: ids1 1537/tcp #Informix IDS The problem seems to be that the scripts that build the sysmaster database won't find the server. They only refer to the database name. If I run 'isql cms', the system responds with 'database not found or no system permission'. If I run 'isql cms@tin_ids', it opens the database just fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi Murray, My ONCONFIG was not set. All the others were set properly. Once it was set properly I am able to run the sql script to create a database properly. It no longer chokes on the create stored procedure spl statement. env returns: (I've removed most stuff) USERNAME=root HOSTNAME=tin.bdsn.com LOGNAME=informix ONCONFIG=/usr/informix/etc/onconfig PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/informix/bin:/us r/informix/bin USER=informix INFORMIXDIR=/usr/informix INFORMIXSERVER=tin_idsOSTYPE=Linux It still won't dbimport however. Is this perhaps a Linux configuration issue?
