'sdemon -o start' fails. Looking at the Informix log with 'onstat -m', these errors are seen:

"10:03:01 listener-thread: err = -408: oserr = 0: errstr = :
Invalid message type received from the sqlexec process".

"10:03:22 listener-thread: err = -27001: oserr = 0: errstr =
: Read error occurred during connection attempt".

Cause:

Both Informix and SDE are trying to listen on the same IP port. The port names in $SDEHOME/etc/services.sde and $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts are the same or point to the same port.

Solution:

Change one or the other to another port number. If SDE's are changed, restarting the Informix server is not required.
