*URGENT* -908 error

Post by Serafin Velos » Tue, 20 Mar 2001 03:37:45



Hi Folks!!

Big problem - Ive installed IDS 7.30UC7 on Suse Linux 7.0!

Database runs fine, dbaccess does have a connect! But Im not able to
connect the db server with a W9x/W2k Clientmachine.

Error message is 908,  Service port defined ist 1824!

I tried to connect with telnet  (telnet server 1824) but every connection
will be refused!!

Any ideas?!!

Sorry to say, that this is top urgent (CEBIT!!!!!!)

Thanks a lot !!!

CEBIT eh? Things always break when you want to demo them. I
couldn't go because we left it too late and thare are no flights
left at all that day.

Anyway, error -908 is a generic "can't connect" message about
network connections, and the error text says something about
tinkering with INFORMIXCONTIME and INFORMIXCONRETRY. I've never
seen anyone bother to do that though, because it has always
turned out to be a network configuration or OS level thing.
Either addresses or authentication (my 2 cents as they say).

But I'm not very good at this, so try looing at this (it's for SE
but the network stuff should still be good)

Or do a google search like this one:

That should turn up something useful.

1. 908: Attempt to connect to database server (online2, conerr=-908, oserr=13)

Are the two instances on that machine using the same service?  What
hostname, protocol, and service are you using in the sqlhosts files for
each?  You cannot use a shared memory connection between engines on the
same machine or to access a server on another host.  Are you using the
same sqlhosts file for both instances?  What about for the remote
instance?  Please post all of the relevent sqlhosts entries, I suspect
this is your problem.
