-931: Cannot locate service/tcp service in /etc/services.

[joli.pr...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I hace an informix db 11.5 and I'm trying to start working on it.
I've followed all steps from unzip to configure sqlhost file and initialize the db

I ran 'oninit -ivy' and enden up succesfully (mode =5)
then I'm able to run 'dbaccess' but when I try to select a DB or create one I got the error

931: Cannot locate service/tcp service in /etc/services.

I've been looking around on all forums and pages and all say I must check sqlhosts and /etc/hosts files to match hostname and service name with hostname and I do have this both correct.

But for any reason there's no such entry on /etc/services as the error says, and I do not know why.

Any additional infor I'm missing?

Thanks a lot

Add your informix database port to /etc/services
