Hi

I am trying to install Firebird under Windows 2000 but cannot get the
client and server to communicate.

I installed the Server from file:

Firebird-1.0.2.908-Win32.exe

from the SourceForge site, and also installed the InterClient JDBC
Driver for Windows from the same site:

interclient_210_Win32.zip

Running the "isconfig" utility states that Server version 2.01 is
running as a service and the root directory is C:\Program
Files\Firebird\InterClient... (cannot see entire path)

Running the "CommDiag" utility with parameters:

InterServer Host: localhost
Database file: c:/Program Files/Firebird/examples/employee.GDB

yields response:

InterClient Release: 2.0.1 Test Build, Client/Server
Edition
InterClient compatible JRE versions: 1.3
InterClient compatible IB versions: 5, 6
InterClient driver name: interbase.interclient.Driver
InterClient JDBC protocol: jdbc:interbase:
InterClient JDBC protocol version: 20001
InterClient expiration date: no expiration date

Testing database URL jdbc:interbase://localhost/c:/Program
Files/Firebird/Examples/EMPLOYEE.GDB.

***** Error or Exception Occurred *****
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.io)
***** Installation problem detected! *****

I notice that the Firebird client release notes state:

"3. Make sure that your Java CLASSPATH is updated to point to the
installed .jar files location"

Is this necessary? How do I do it?

Please suggest what is wrong with my installation.

Thank you

David Aldrich
