Initialization log/checkpoint information -> fails during oninit -isvy
I'm trying to install Informix 7.31 on SCO Unix 5.0.5 on a Pentium II single cpu machine. I've already created the raw partitions (owned by informix user) and installed informix itself. My onconfig is already configured. I run oninit -isvy to initialize the parameters and the root dbspace. The initialization process stops at the following message:
Initializing log/checkpoint information.....
Then, it just goes to the unix prompt without any errors.
Did I miss any critical steps during the installation process?
I checked the online.log and it seems I forgot to put the sqlexec service in the services file. I'm not sure, though... what's the connection between the sqlexec service and log/checkpoint information?
It works, though, after I edit the services file...
