Hi,
I am not very experienced with Firebird and I will apreciate any help
with the following issue:
I need to build a configuration where the Firebird service runs on a
HOST1 and the database files are on HOST2.
A mapped drive exists on HOST1 with full access to the path on HOST2,
where the DB files are.
I tried connection string with mapped path, UNC path and
also: "localhost://HOST1/FB/DATA/Data.fdb"
Well, no go. I get message:
Unable to complete network request to host "HOST1".
-Failed to establish a connection.
-The network name cannot be found.
Same error from the program, Firebird ODBC and isql.
All works fine, if DB files are on HOST1.
I tried to change this setting in firebird.conf:
ExternalFileAccess = Full,
but it didn't help.
Is this configuration possible at all, and if yes, what should be
changed to make it work?
Thanks a lot in advance!
