Hi,
- I'm using FireBird 1.02, but I used Interbase 6.0 too.
- My application is developed on Delphi 5.0. I've update my IBExpress
components to the last version through www.interbase.com
- My application works fine on a Windows Server machine running
Interbase or FireBird. It registers events without problem, and it
works ok.
- It don't use threads.
- I read prior posted messages that said to include 127.0.0.1 in the
hosts file in /etc/hosts. I do that, and I wrote into the hosts file
all ip's and names of all network equipment.
- I use IBDatabase component to connect to database.

The problem is when I register events. I trace the program step by
step and it hangs on the line that I register events with IBEvent
component.

But, what's the matter on Linux? I think IBEvent doesn't be the
problem because it works fine with a Interbase/Firebird on Windows.
Thanks.
