Subject Problems creating database with Firebird Super Server in Ubuntu 9.10
Author cris abar
Hi.

I'm testing the first Firebird and for that I have it installed on my computer with Ubuntu 9.10.
The version that I have installed is the Firebird Super Server 2.1.3.

To test if it works the connection to a database, try the following:

SQL>connect "localhost:/path/employee.fdb" user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterke';

This allows me to see that table contains the database. OK.

The problem occurs when I try to create a database, for this I do the following:

I create a folder called BD, I change the permissions and owner:

$sudo chmod 777 -R /path/BD
$sudo chown -R firebird.firebird /path/BD

Then proceed to create the database:

SQL>create database "localhost:/path/BD/BDatos.fdb" user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterke';

This gives me the following error:

Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902
I/O error for file "/path/BD/BDatos.fdb"
-Error while trying to create file
-Permission denied

I wonder what would be my mistake.

Regards.
