I upgraded to Mac OS Lion. I installed the DirectoryService from Snow Leopard to avoid the linkage errors. db2start works find without exceptions but when I try to connect using port 50001 i get the following error:

I too encountered the SQL5043N message after upgrading toe Snow Leopard and resolved it by restoring the db2service line. Thanks Antonio and Yair

I have the DBI1435E” dialog (says it can’t find supported browser) too and I used several browsers.
Any solution.
Using Snow Leopard…

Michael, you can use db2fs with Firefox 2. Since it is unmaintained, it is best to save it under a separate tree, not under Applications, that way you won’t accidentally launch it and use it.

The above link to the fixpack leads me to the general download of xpress-C, but I can find no download for the fixpack, just the one for Leopard. Can you tell me how I can get to this fixpack download?

Sigh,

I am having trouble getting any browser to play nicely with db2fs. When I try with Firefox 3.5.3, Mac OS throws up a “firefox-bin quit unexpectedly” dialog and db2fs pops up a “DBI1435E” dialog (says it can’t find supported browser).

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

Any ideas as to what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Michael

Ahmed, I assume that you mean DB2, but either way, just create the file /etc/sysctl.conf file if it doesn’t exist.

Hello,
I have got a new MacBook Pro. I want to install Oracle into it. The only problem I have is that I can’t find sysctl.conf file. I have done “find” search but no effect. Does anybody know how to fix that problem?

Sorry about the mess, just wanted to update that I solved the problem. Seems that the upgrade backs up the /etc/services file into services~previous, and creates a new one without the line for the db2 service. You need to find the line in the old /etc/services that has the service definition for db2 and add it back to the new /etc/services, then run db2stop and db2start.

Cheers

Hi,

I’m having the same problem as Shawn. Getting a SQL5043N error. I have /etc/sysctl.conf and it looks fine…

Thanks,
Yair
