[Info-vax] Host-Based InfoServer error

[Peter Weaver]

My first guess is that you specified the device as EIA in both
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT and SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT. I
would either specify the full device name (EIA0 or EIA1 or whatever) or
remove the device from both files. I took a look at the same files on my
systems and none of them define a device.

You might want to check to see if there are any errors in either
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.LOG or SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.LOG.
 
If those do not help then can you try creating a new container file and
serving that? That would let you know if the problem is with InfoServer or
if there is something about your I64E84.ISO file. If you get the same error
with the new container then try serving a CDROM that will narrow it down to
either the InforServer setup or your LD setup. 

The other thing I would try is using the command 
    CREATE SERVICE VMS84FTIA64 _SRVR1$LDA100:
instead of
    CREATE SERVICE VMS84FTIA64 LDA100:
but on my system I get a different error if I use LDA100: instead of the
fully qualified name so I doubt this is your issue.
