In Response To: Linux Informix SQLEXEC startup (PAUL KLUK)

If you're discussing 'sqlexec', presumably we're talking about SE (Informix
Standard Engine) and not IDS (Informix Dynamic Server, currently known as
just Informix, unless I missed something recently). If you're not talking
about SE, then you may as well ignore everything else in this message.

If you're not sure whether you're discussing SE, then where are your
databases stored? In directories like database.dbs with all sorts of
C-ISAM .dat and .idx file pairs? Do you have 'oninit' in
$INFORMIXDIR/bin? Do you have 'sqlexec' and 'sqlexecd' in
$INFORMIXDIR/lib? If you have sqlexec and sqlexecd and database.dbs
directories, then you have SE. If you don't have the directories or
programs but do have 'oninit', you have IDS, not SE. If you have none of
the above, we need to discuss what you do have it begins to sound as if
the databases are on a different machine.

Are the clients connecting from the local machine where SE is installed
or are they trying to connect remotely? This will have ramifications.

You say you've tried various things in the sqlhosts file; does that include
using 'seipcpip'? What have you tried?

That'll do to get the discussion started more information is needed
before anyone can give you much in the way of help.
