You can't create a database without a fully-specified file path. Try
it again, using a proper file path specification, e.g.
'c:\databases\rising3.fdb', that is not a share or a mapped drive
location. If you are using DatabaseAccess = NONE or Restrict then
you will also need to have fixed up the alias or path location accordingly.

If you are running the server as an application, make sure that the
logged-in user has system create file rights in the specified path.
