Subject Re: [firebird-support] Problems creating database with Firebird Super Server in Ubuntu 9.10
Author cris abar
Hi Helen...¡Thank you very much for answering.!


Yes, I tried firebird.firebird or firebird: firebird and works of two ways.

It just seems that the server has no access.

Firebird users added to group:

Firebird------------------>
myuser------------------->  SERVER: user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterke'

I tested with the classic version and works flawlessly.

Could it be that the installer had problems with my distribution?

Regards.

firebird:firebird, not firebird.firebird ?



(Do ls -l on the /BD directory and see what ownership you actually got there...)
