Install informix in Linux

1. Build the installation environment

1. Create an informix user group and user

Log in as root, and then:

Groupadd-g 3000 informix

Useradd-u 3000-g 3000-d/home/informix-m informix

2. Modify Environment Variables

# Su-informix

# Cd

# Ls-

# Vi. bash_profile

To:

INFORMIXDIR =/opt/IBM/informix // installation path of informix

Export INFORMIXDIR

INFORMIXSERVER = informix // The server name of informix

Export INFORMIXSERVER

ONCONFIG = onconfig. informix // configuration file name of informix

Export ONCONFIG

LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/opt/IBM/informix // lib library path of informix

Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH = $ PATH: $ INFORMIXDIR/bin

Export PATH

After saving and exiting, modify the permission:

# Chmod 755. bash_profile

Make the above settings take effect

#./. Bash_profile

3. Upload the Installation File

(1) set the Virtual Machine shared folder, put the installation file in the shared folder, under linux:/mnt/hgfs.

(2) log on to the system as root/informix, go to/mnt/hgfs, and decompress the installation file:

$ Tar xvf setupfile.tar note that the file name cannot contain spaces

4. Start Installation

Log on as the root user (I have read many documents on the Internet, all of which are installed by logging on to informix users, but when I log on to informix for installation, the system prompts me to install it as root)

# Cd/mnt/hgfs/Informix/SERVER

Run the installation script

#./Installserver

Follow the prompts to complete the operation.
