I have a Windows server 2008 R2 64 bit with a VMware instance of Informix Dynmic Server 11.50 virtual appliance 32bit running.
Using the default database server provided in the virtual appliance i have created a database and a table inside it.
I installed the Informix Client SDK 3.5 and the informix data server provider Drivers on the windows server.
I setup the server connection on the windows server using setnet tool.
I tested the connection with the connect test demo tool of the SDK and the query executed successfully.
Now when I am testing the .Net provider driver by running the testconn.40_32.exe with the following connection String:
testconn40_32.exe -dtc “Database=safdata; Server=192.168.154.128:9088; User ID=root; Password=root”
I get following error:
Unable to open socket to server:
ERROR [08001] [IBM] SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communic
ation protocol being used: “TCP/IP”. Communication API being used: “SOCKETS”.
Location where the error was detected: “192.168.154.128”. Communication functio
n detecting the error: “recv”. Protocol specific error code(s): ““, ““, “0”.
SQLSTATE=08001
I uninstalled the client SDK and all other drivers.. re-installed only the client SDK and it worked. The client drivers were conflicting with other versions of the driver I had installed.
