Hey all,

I've been using Firebird 1.5 on my laptop for a while, and it's now
time to get it running on our multi-processor server. Unfortunately,
after installation, the services are running, but I can't get anything
to work. Can someone please help me either:

a- Please tell me what's going on so I can fix the problem.

or

b- Get some kind of debug logging turned on so that I can get to the
root of the problem.

Here's a sample output showing the problem:


E:\Firebird_1_5\bin>gsec -user sysdba -password masterkey

E:\Firebird_1_5\bin>gsec -user sysdba -password masterkey -database

==============

More information:

a- FBGuard is running.

b- Service has been tried using both the localsystem account and the
administrator account with no differences.

c- I've made sure that the E:\Firebird_1_5 directory is completely
open as far as NTFS security is concerned. I can scale that back when
it's actually working.

d- My changes to the firebird.conf are as follows (and were made
trying to solve the problem, but have had no effect):

TempDirectories = e:\tmp
DatabaseAccess = Full
CpuAffinityMask = 3

e- I installed using the 1.5.2 executable.

f- OS is Windows 2003 Server

Thanks for any help you can give!
