title: Not able to start Informix server
body: <p>I am new to Informix. I installed Informix in the folder - <code>/opt/Informix_Software_Bundle.</code></p>
  
  <p>I am using the following command to start Informix server.</p>
  
  <p><code>cd /opt/Informix_Software_Bundle
   sudo ./oninit -i</code></p>
  
  <p>And I am getting the following error message.</p>
  
  <p><code>Unable to read $INFORMIXDIR (/usr/informix).</code></p>
  
  <p>So I tried to set the environment variable <code>INFORMIXDIR</code> in <code>~/.profile</code> as given below:</p>
  
  <p><code>export INFORMIXDIR="/opt/Informix_Software_Bundle"</code></p>
  
  <p>I also tried the following command:</p>
  
  <p><code>INFORMIXDIR=/opt/Informix_Software_Bundle;export INFORMIXDIR</code></p>
  
  <p>I tried logging out and in again. But nothing helped.</p>
  
  <p>I will greatly appreciate if somebody can help me with this. Thanks for reading.</p>
