Installation Problem

[shhankar]

Iam installing IDS 9.4 in Solaris 8 (Intel)

I set the informix parameters and
typed . installserver

After few minutes, i got the following error message

Installing directory.
Installing directory aaodir
Installing directory bin
etc/install: etc/brand: cannnot execute binary file
Installed of Informix Dynamic server failed.

Iam able to see etc/install and etc/brand in the etc directory under INFORMIXDIR.

Please help

Hi Shhankar,

The brand error that your are getting is because of the platform. Are you sure you have IDS 9.4 under solaris 8 (intel platform) or its Sun Sparc. Make sure about it, i too had faced a similar error earlier.

Best Regards,

Lloyd

Yes. Actually the software is IDS 9.4 for solaris 9. I tried to install in Solaris 8.

I searched in google and the site exactly reflect my error.
