HELP! Can't start IDS9.2 w/tcp!

Hi all... I have an error which has me stumped. Any help appreciated. Machine: Sun E4000 w/4G Ram; Solaris 2.7 Installing IDS9.2 Given: Environment variable: INFORMIXSERVER=devtcp; export INFORMIXSERVER sqlhosts: testdb onipcshm dev xxx testdbtcp ontlitcp dev devtcp onconfig DBSERVERNAME testdb DBSERVERALIASES testdbtcp /etc/services devtcp 7777/tcp /etc/hosts 133.356.432.111 loghost dev When I oninit -i with DBSERVERALIASES commented out and INFORMIXSERVER set to testdb, the server starts with no problems. When I oninit -i with DBSERVERALIASES, (using the above configuration), I get in the error log: listener-thread: err = -25572: oserr = 0; errstr = : Network driver cannot bind a name to the port. Anybody see what I've coded wrong and can suggest a solution? And...yes...the networking appears to be OK. Thanks in advance, Joe

Are you sure that the system is not part of a NFS. Check if the command >ypcat services returns any data. If it does then you have to configure the port number within the yellow pages.

try INFORMIXSERVER=testdb; export INFORMIXSERVER with DBSERVERALIASES not commented out but make shure your tcp port isn't in use netstat -a | grep devtcp there are no more server processe of your instance + you receive a line like xxxx dev.devtcp *.* LISTEN or even xxxx *.devtcp *.* LISTEN you have to look for another tcp port number ram_cnc wrote: > In article <38d68bcf_3@dilbert.ic.sunysb.edu>, > trubisz@cs.sunysb.edu (Joe Trubisz) wrote: > > Hi all... > > > > I have an error which has me stumped.
