Subject ibWebAdmin configuration

Hi All

I'm trying to set up ibWebAdmin.
Firebird 1.5 is running on a windows box at 10.2.1.3
The web server is on a Linux box at 10.2.1.5

I can get php to talk to Firebird ok, using a connection like this:

$connection=ibase_connect("10.2.1.3:employee", "sysdba", "masterkey")

As you see, Firebird is configured to use aliases.

I cant get ibWebAdmin to connect to it.

If I enter:
Database:employee
Host: 10.2.1.3

I get an error:
The database name must end with 'gdb', 'fdb', 'ib'

Can ibWebAdmin connect to a server on another host using aliases?
Could anyone direct me to a configuration.inc.php (I assume my
problem lies there) to illustrate what is needed?

The docs say that some ibWebAdmin features don't work for non-local
database servers. I'm assuming I can use $HIDE_PANELS to hide things
that don't work to prevent end-users getting error messages. Is that
so?

regards
Richard
