How can I run two run-times
Thierry Achaintre asked whether two products needing different Informix run-times could run on one machine. Michael Krzepkowski, Jonathan Leffler and Paul Watson all said yes: give each setup its own INFORMIXDIR and set the environment carefully. Leffler ran 5.10, 7.24, 7.31 and 9.20 side by side on one Solaris box. Solved.

Hi! Yes, you have to make sure INFORMIXDIR points to the correct directory. HTH Michael Thierry Achaintre wrote: > Hi all, > > I have to make running two products on the same box.

Hi all, I have to make running two products on the same box. Both use Informix Run-Times differents. Is it possible to make running this two different run-times on the same box ? Thanks. -- Thierry ACHAINTRE Architecte Syst'mes et R'seaux - EURIWARE thierry.achaintre@euriware.fr "This message is not an official statement of EURIWARE policies."

Put each separate setup in its own INFORMIXDIR, and be careful to set (and unset) the environment correctly when you need to the other setup. On my Solaris box, I have 5.10, 7.24, 7.31 and 9.20 systems installed and runnable at the same time. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.95 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
You can have as many as the box is able to cope. Just set INFORMIXDIR etc to be different for each version you want Thierry Achaintre wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have to make running two products on the same box.
