Informix Error 25507

-25507 You specified an unknown service name or protocol.

Determine which of the following conditions produced this error and take the appropriate corrective actions:

The value of the NETTYPE configuration parameter in the ONCONFIG file is not the same as the NETTYPE setting in the sqlhosts file. If the NETTYPE values are different, correct the incorrect value. If you update the ONCONFIG file, you must restart the database server.

The correct service name is not in the /etc/services file. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, check the /etc/services file. If you are using NFS, use the ypmake utility to check the /etc/services file. Sometimes the daemon does not recognize service names that are added after a default start-up. Add the correct service name if it is not present or restart your computer.

The protocol entry in the ONCONFIG file or sqlhosts file is not supported by the operating system on your computer. For information about supported protocols, see the connectivity information section in the Administrator's Guide or the Client SDK release notes in the INFORMIXDIR/release directory. Correct the protocol entry in the ONCONFIG file or the sqlhosts file. If you update the ONCONFIG file, you must restart the database server.
