Here is my configuration and the error I am getting. I have not created dbs_root
as of yet... is this not created when you first initialize?
In the /usr/informix directory I have an executable called training, it has the following variables.Changes made DBSERVERNAME, INFORMIXSERVER, ONCONFIG SERVERNUM

I have copied the test onconfig file and renamed onconfig.Training and made a few changes to ROOTNAME, ROOTPATH, SERVERNUM, DBSERVERNAME

# When dynamic logging is on, we can have higher values for LTXHWM/LTXEHWM,

#
# If dynamic logging is off, LTXHWM/LTXEHWM need to be set to smaller values
