From IIUG you only get the database... all the rest you have to try to download it mnually, or if you have a passport (ie: a lot of money) you could download a "bundle" who has all you need, but: You need to pay...

I could be wrong, so I'll be glad for someone to correct me.

Chucho!

PD:

Try: www.informix.com (yeah... is still live) and check your right: A download for an IDS 9.4 UC5 trial...

But (there is always a _but_ with IBM), you need to have an account, and if you're that lucky then you need to be considered _apt_ due to export laws...

... There is always something when you try to trial/test something related to informix ...

Subject: missing install instructions/pieces

I downloaded the Linux package, IIUG-IDS-9-4-UC2-linux.zip to install
on Fedora core. I had no trouble setting the environment, or using cpio
or installing the server, using installserver or running the
RUN_AS_ROOT.server piece. I received no errors and was returned to the
prompt. What I'm missing is some kind of config setup for the server
itself. Reading the Unix/Linux install guide refers to the "IBM
Informix Bundle Installer", I did not see that or the mentioned
options, however the install guide speaks also of choosing to install
the demo database, I didn't get that option with using the
installserver binary. I also didn't see anything about the option of
installing the "IBM Informix Server Administrator". I've got copies of
the Install guide for Linux/Unix, install for Unix and Informix IDS
Admin Guide. I would expect to find a binary that would give me options
of installing different pieces, demo, ISA and others but have not found
it. In the Guide for Linux, it refers to the ISA in
$INFORMIXDIR/ISA/bin/isactl,  I do not have the ISA directory
structure.

1. Is there a fuller 9.4 package for Linux versus what's on the IIUG
website?
2. Am I missing pieces I need to download?
3. Is there a better verbose installation document?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

You may take a look to a quick guide I'm doing:
http://www.lacorona.com.mx/fortiz/informix/tcp.htm

It's no fully translated yet, but at least you can use the server part.

I have to mention that IBM fixed the download for the trial, and I was able to download.

... very impressed with the reponse ...

Chucho!

Thank you for the help. The Linux Informix download
from IBM was much smoother to install. However, I
noted  
that the Java/HTTP pieces installed when I had the web
server UP.
