Using Delphi IDE, I drop a TIBDatabase component on a form and set
the databasename to \\172.17.4.5\c:\AFolder\ADatabase.gdb then set
the connected property of the IBDatabase to True. On the Server a
dialog pops up "Firebird Error" with message "Missing configuration
file: c:\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\aliases.conf"

Naturally this file is there and in it I have set the alias using
this: ADatabase = c:\AFolder\ADatabase.gdb

What could be causing such an issue.
I also am unclear on the 'Exact' format for settings in the
firebird.conf file, like the DatabaseAccess property. I have set it
to FULL using DatabaseAccess = FULL

Thanks,
Dale
