re: C example in /morph3/api
I compiled it fine.

No matter what I use for username, password, port I always get this error

"Connection refused In the function: ezclientsock"

happens when calling openserver()

hostname="" (default "localhost")
user=PUBLIC
port=10000
db="path to db"
group="group name"


thanks

As noted in the sqlex1.c file, the texisd daemon must be running on the host. The sqlex1 example utilizes the Network API, so it makes network calls to the texisd server. See the Texis manual for texisd options; it is typically started as: texisd -o/logs/texisd.log -l

Or make "sqlex1f" (-DNCGDIRECT) instead of "sqlex1" if you don't need network (multiple machine) support. Then you wouldn't need texisd.

ok, I thought texisd started when texis starts.

No, running texis starts the Texis Monitor, which performs some maintenance and housekeeping tasks. texisd must be explicitly started, since it provides network access to database(s).
