Status: Unverified
SYMPTOM(s):
"The Host parameter supplied was <host>, however, this Host is <host>.(5149)"
"The wrong host parameter was supplied. Try again with the correct host."
CAUSE:
In Version 9, the <hostname> must be the name of the machine where the
server is started.
[PKB 19681 explains how -H functions differently in V8 and V9.]
This is because when you start up a database server with -H, Progress
converts the host name to its IP address, and then the IP address back
to a host name. If the host name returned by this backward convertion
does not match the host name given in the -H option, you get error
5149.
[PKB 19720 has more detail on the technicalities IP address
translation between network domains.]
FIX:
1. Don't use the -H parameter at all, -H is not mandatory in starting up a local database server. When -H is omitted, Progress defaults to "localhost".
2. Set -H to "localhost" (or the "physical host") for machine that
starts the database server.
