Sounds like you're using a direct connection to the database file, instead of
connecting to the firebird service listening on port 3050(usually)

Check the connection string. In PHP it looks like:


$conn = ibase_connect("c:/database.fdb","username","password");
This is a direct connect, and can only handle one connection from one
application process.

However,

$conn = ibase_connect("server:c:/database.fdb","username","password");

This is connecting to the database server listening on the default port of 3050,
and can handle as many connections as your server / CPU / RAM will allow.
