there are a problem with value in sqlhosts file,
the port that you fill in isn't free , it still use by another applications

I can not find such file in my server.
should i create one?
pls give me some example.

Best Regs

the file is in $INFORMIXDIR/etc for defaults path
if you didn't set INFORMIXSQLHOSTS

P.S. I run informix on Solaris Unix but I think it is the same

oh, i know what u mean?
but what should i do now?
to create a file? :-(

Hi,
there must be an entry in the registry hkey-local-machine software informix sqlhosts.

Could u tell me in detail ?

Ok,
open with regedt32 the registry, first try to find out if sqlhosts exits under hkey-local-machine--software--informix------sqlhosts.
In sqlhosts must be an entry with the name of DBSERVERNAME, and maybe DBSERVERALIASES. DB.. entry are in the onconfig of Informix.
in SQLHOSTS there entries for Host, options, protocol and services. The entry service with a number you find under /win../../services with entry number.

Hi,

In my win2000 register, i found following message,

Host:
Option:
Protocal:
Service:

Is it right?
I can not found hostname,dbservername,nettype,servicename,such parameters.

and now, i still can not initialize my shared memory.

what can i do now?

Hi,
the parameter hostname, dbservername ... are in the file onconfig. ... You find the file in the dir /informix/etc/ . In the reg. try to fill in die hostname, option is the name of the Informix DB for exampel ol_xxxx, the protocol could be olsoctcp, Service for exampel turbo. What does the file /winnt/system32/drivers/services looks like? If there isn't any entry with for example turbo create one with the number for example 5002. This number is unique and should not be used by anything else.

Hi,

I can not find such entry in my onconfig.zhangjian file. Should i add these entry in the file?

I always found such error in onstat -m command,
<<
network driver cannot bind the name to the port
>>

when i open my winnt\driver\ect\service,

i found that such entry
turbo1 1025/tcp #zhangjian

thanks in adance
