Help a newbie get connected to a local development Informix 14.10 server

Show all headers | View raw

Good afternoon all:

Hoping this finds you well. Being familiar with other DBs such as DB2, 
Oracle, and such, I am trying to get my feet wet, by wading into 
Informix. I installed the developer server in a Windows VM, set the 
default user's password, ran the server configuration CMD file, and got 
stuck.
All I know at this point is that the installer added its services 
configured for TCP to services. I checked which processes listen on 
them, and oninit.exe is only listening on 127.0.0.1:9090. Locally, I can 
start dbaccess.exe and do little. But remotely I cannot connect because 
connection is refused, which makes sense since nothing is listening.
When I tried to run dbaccessdemo.cmd, it errored half-way, after 
creating store_demo DB. The errors likely stem from missing double 
quotes around paths that lead into "Program Files". I surmise so from 
the fact that a file called "Program" was created on c:\.
I now question the wisdom of allowing the installer to put itself under 
Program Files. Perhaps, like with DB2, I should have chosen to install 
under something like c:\informix instead?
If anyone could help me to bring up the network port, for me to get 
access through JDBC from outside of the VM, I'd greatly appreciate it! 
Or point me at the documentation that I missed.

Thank you!
