GOAL:
How to use the -H parameter?
FIX:
In v8, if -H is supplied, Progress does check that it be either the machine name as returned by ·hostname· or 'localhost', but it looks like that's only a sanity check. The versions 7 and 8 databases can be launched on the "alias" host name and seem to work just fine.
In v9, -H localhost or -H 127.0.0.1 will cause proserve to be bound only to the loopback, instead, that is: not listening to the network. The -H <hostname> which will have proserve bind to all network interfaces available on the host name itself. The host name should match what is returned by running 'hostname' at the OS prompt. Trying to start the v9 database with the ·H set to an alias will generate an error.
