Assuming you have the server running....

Did you save your aliases.conf and firebird.conf and recopy them into your

DatabaseAccess...)

Did you perhaps install Classic where previously you installed
Superserver? You won't be able to do a "path-only" connect to Classic -
you need the TCP/IP server in the string.
