Informix - Socket connection to server failed - informix

I have installed the "Informix Developer Edition 14.10.FC9 Windows" database on my local windows 10 machine.
I like to connect with the sql client DBeaver (22.3) to the database 'test'.
I know the server, the username, the password and the database name. See the following screenshot:
If i test the connection i get the following error:
Socket connection to server (ol_informix1410#localhost:1526) failed. Check your server is reachable from this client on the host:port specified.
Connection refused: connect
Do I really have the wrong port and if so how do I find out the correct port?

guacamole not able to connect neither VNC nor RDP

I setup a guacamole server on ubuntu 16.04 Tried to setup a connection to a vnc server on the same machine and always got errors. I tried with RealVNC Xvnc11 TIghtVNC, and even with RDP. no luck. The error messages on log files were:
Creation of WebSocket tunnel to guacd failed: Non-numeric character in element length.
Creation of WebSocket tunnel to guacd failed: java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused (Connection refused)
An internal error has occurred within the Guacamole server
not a valid RFB client
webSocketsHandshake: invalid client header
Any idea what could be?
The problem was that I was saving the VNC connections settings on the GUACAMOLE PROXY PARAMETERS (GUACD). I set port 5901. Which is not the correct guacd port.
I left this empty and everything worked!
for RDP use RDP encryption select option
it worked for me.

Error when trying to connect to SQL Server 2014

I just downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2014. And the problem is I cannot connect to ' (local) '.
Do you have any ideas how to fix it ?
Error message:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to (local).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
Try localhost instead, and if that still does not work, try 127.0.0.1, try your internal address which should look something like 192.168.1.16
Please check the following steps:
Make sure that SQL Server service is up and running(You can check it via SQL Server Configuration Manager)
Make sure that SQL Browser service is up and running(You cab check it via SQL Server Configuration Manager)
Check for TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols and port. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager and check the SQL Server Network Configuration protocols. You should enable Named Pipes and TCP/IP protocol.
Check to see if remote connections is enabled. Right click on the server name in SSMS and select Properties. Go to the Connections tab and make sure Allow remote connection to this server is checked. If you need to make a change, you must restart the SQL Server instance to apply the change.

Application Unable To Connect to SQL Server 2008

I've been running an ASP.NET MVC application on my IIS 7.5 localhost (on my Win7 Pro box) server with SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I went to put the application on my production server (IIS 7, SQL Server 2008) and am getting SQL Server connection errors. Here is the error I get when I try to browse site root:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL
Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the
instance name is correct and that SQL
Server is configured to allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes
Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
I have triple checked my connection string. My host's connection string was in the format XXX.XX.XX.XX,XXXX. Is it normal to have a comma following the IP Address?
Does anyone have any suggestions for something I may be missing?
Thanks.
Take a look at this resource:
http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008
A comma after the IP address indicates the port. It should be 1433 unless you have multiple instances.
First of all, make sure that the Windows Firewall (and any other firewall software) on that machine is configured to allow incoming connections to SQL Server. See here for instructions.
Second, check that the SQL Server Browser service in the database server machine is running. This is not necessary in all the connection scenarios, so you may need to provide more details. For example, are you using default listen ports for your server?
