Subject Re: Cannot find file aliases.conf
Author Adam
A couple of words of advise (for original poster, not Si)

1. Rename the database file to NAC_NEW_IB6.FDB. Windows XP does stupid
things with .gdb files that will cause you a headache at some point in
time.

2. On the server, edit the aliases.conf in notepad. It is located in
c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\aliases.conf unless you put it
somewhere else. Add the line

NAC_NEW_IB6=C:\Project Data\NAC New IB6\NAC_NEW_IB6.FDB

Save and close the file.

3. Change your client connection string to

[SERVER HOSTNAME]:NAC_NEW_IB6

That is it, the same connection string will work on both the server
and the client. If you ever want to move the database to a different
volume, it is a lot less headache.
