Subject Cannot access DB via alias on Mac
Author phinoppix
Hi all,

I have setup the firebird.conf and aliases.conf so that I can use DB
alias. However I still cannot manage to do so:

SQL> CONNECT 'businessmaker' user SYSDBA password masterkey;
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902
Access to database "/Users/superman/fbdata/Netwapp.2.3.2.fdb" is
denied by server administrator


The fbdata folder is owned by the firebird user, following the
suggestions from this doc:

http://www.firebirdsql.org/devel/doc/papers/html/paper-fb-macosx.html#paper-fb-macosx-adv-aliases


I am only a newbie on Mac so I don't have much knowledge on its file
system and security.

TIA,
Aris
