ODBC to Ver 9.1a on Sco Unix 5.0.5

Posted by LegacyUser on 07-Feb-2001 03:48

Hi everyone

I am trying to connect from a windows 95 machine having progress 9.1a loaded on it to a unix server running on sco 5.0.5 and having progress 9.1a loaded on it.

I am starting the unix server as

proserve /u1/payroll -SV -S paysrv -H devsrv -N tcp

where devsrv is my unix servers name

paysrv is the service in /etc/services

with port 2050/tcp

/u1/payroll is my database name

The server starts on unix properly and i am able to see it with ps -eal on unix

I have also created a user admin in this database

and given it security rights.

On my windows 95 client i have the same hosts and services file as on my unix machine

I go to control panel, ODBC on my win95 machine and then select the Merant ODBC SQL 92 3.60 driver from the list i configure the driver as

host name = devsrv

port = 2050

database = payroll

user ID = admin

passwd = same

when i press test connection I get the error

Error in Network Daemon.

Also i have seen that when i connect to this database on Unix server using PROgress 9.1a of my client (win95) machine I am able to connect . It is only when I try to use the SQL 92 driver I am having the problem

We want to use ODBC to connect from VB 6 to this Progress database.

Please tell me what to do ?

Regards

Pravin
