Subject error upon connecting to database from remote client.
Author Adrian Wreyford
I know this has been discussed in detail.

I've read all relevant chapters in Firebird Book .. but I'm still missing
something.



I moved my Database from an old server to a new faster server, but running
Win XP, as linux doesn't yet support the ICH6 on the new Intel boards.



Well now I get the following error when trying to connect:

ISC ERROR MESSAGE: (error code 335544373)

Operating system directive CreateFile failed

Access is denied



The hosts file has an entry for the NEWSERVER

NEWSERVER has a fixed IP address as part of a wireless LAN



The directory where the database resides is PRAX

The database is PRAX.GDB



I use logon: \\NEWSERVER\C:PRAX\PRAX.GDB
<file:///\\NEWSERVER\C:PRAX\PRAX.GDB>



The Prax Folder is shared for access to the database .. I don't like doing
this, but it appears to be the only way to get it to work.?



Firebird SS installed. Same version on host, and client..

The firebird.conf has a c:\temp 50000000



It appears to be writing to temporary files under windows\system32\temp but
that the system denies access.

Surely the firebird server controls this, or must I share the default
firebird folder, and windows/system32 .. this just cannot be the solution?



Any help please



Adrian

This always used to work so easily .. I don't know what I'm doing wrong now.
