Subject Embedded FB1.5 Doesn't Like "localhost".
Author barfingdog_2004
Hi Folks:

This application is being developed on Win2K.

I'm building my first Firebird application. It's
running fine in a client-server relationship and I can
insert and select data from myfirst table. Now I want
to make it an embedded app.

I've downloaded the embedded version of Firebird
and replaced the client-server DLL with the embedded
DLL, and I've renamed the embedded DLL fbclient.dll.

The download I'm using is:
Firebird-1.5.0.4290_embed_win32.zip

I've added firebird.msg and firebird.conf to the
same directory. I don't know what those two file are
for, but I copied them from the embedded's expanded
files.

The instructions said that's all I needed to do.

I try to run my app, when it connects to the
database I get:

---------------

*** IBPP::Exception inside Database::Connect ***

IBPP Message : isc_attach_database failed

SQL Message : -902
Unsuccessful execution caused by a system error that precludes
successful execution of subsequent statements.

Engine Code : 335544721
Engine Message :
Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
Failed to establish a connection.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it.

----------------

Suggestions?

Thanks
Larry
