Sybase ct_connect error
I just installed ASE 15.0.2 on Linux, and created an "interfaces" file with two server entries in it:
CHI_IRPTRACKER_PRD
query tcp ether 171.188.69.123 50000
master tcp ether 171.188.69.123 50000
CHI_IRPTRACKER_DEV
query tcp ether 171.188.119.39 50000
master tcp ether 171.188.119.39 50000
However, when I try to run isql with the following command, it gave me the error:
ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal directory control layer error: Requested server name not found.
The "isql" command I was using:
isql -S CHI_IRPTRACKER_DEV -U trackerUpdate -P sybase -I "/opt/sybase/interfaces"
Sybase is installed in directory "/opt/sybase", and I have two env. variables defined:
SYBASE=/opt/sybase
SYBASE_OCS=OCS-15_0
What could have caused this problem? Is there a debug flag to show more detailed information for either "isql" or the "ct" library?
Thanks

I do have the whole ASE package installed, for the reason you mentioned.
After executing "SYBASE.sh", run isql still gave me the same error.
Is there a way to turn on some debug or trace information of the open client or "ct" library?

I fixed the problem, even though not sure what caused the problem exactly.
I just manually typed a separate copy of the interfaces file with vi, and it worked. Not sure what was wrong with the first one, as I also opened it with vi but didn't see anything wrong.
Thanks again. I appreciate your help.

If you created the file on Windows and them FTPed it to Linux, you will have CR/LF line terminators when you really only want LF terminators. That confuses a lot of Linux programs. There is a utility, DOS2UNIX that strips the CRs for you.
Just a thought.

I thought about that, and opened the file with vi but didn't find any ^M which used to be the culprit.
I don't see ENV.sh in "/opt/sybase" and I am using bash shell. Those two ASE servers defined in the interfaces file are running on separate Solaris machines and out of my control. I don't have ASE configured on the Linux and only want to be able to run isql to connect to those remote ASEs.
I am also confused by the ct error message. Does it mean the ct library is having trouble to find the definition of server "CHI_IRPTRACKER_DEV", or it is having trouble to connect to that server?
