Hi, I've read the FAQ, the Novice Guide, the article on how to connect
under Linux, I've also Google'd - however, I can't seem to find a
starting point.

This is on Ubuntu Linux. I've installed Firebird Classic Server 1.5.3
from the Ubuntu repositories.

I was using FlameRobin and ibwebadmin to connect. Both return the error
message,

----------------------------------------------------
*** IBPP::SQLException ***
Context: Service::Connect
Message: isc_service_attach failed

SQL Message : -902
Unsuccessful execution caused by a system error that precludes
successful execution of subsequent statements

Engine Code : 335544721
Engine Message :
Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
Failed to establish a connection.
Connection refused
----------------------------------------------------

This should mean Firebird Server isn't started.
I've started /usr/lib/firebird2/bin/fb_inet_server though, and the
process shows up in the process list.
There are no other processes which names start with "fb".

Any hints on how to proceed?

Thanks
Robert
