Hi Everyone,

 

I am almost embarrassed to ask, but, I am having a great deal of difficulty with setting this up.

 

I have a brand new installation of Ubuntu LTS Server 14.04

 

I have installed firebird superclassic.

I have used gbak to restore a database without any problems

 

I can connect to my newly restored database via isql-fb without the network specified.

I can connect to my newly restored database via isql-fb with localhost specified.

I can not connect to the machines actual ip address ie 192.168.0.87

 

The following commands work

 

isql-fb -user SYSDBA -password masterkey /mnt/raid/firebird/mcf.001

isql-fb -user SYSDBA -password masterkey localhost:/mnt/raid/firebird/mcf.001

 

But, the following command does not work.

isql-fb -user SYSDBA -password masterkey localhost:/mnt/raid/firebird/mcf.001

 

 

I found that /etc/firebird/2.5/firebird.conf had RemoteBindAddress = localhost specified.

I first remarked it out, restarted firebird but alas, that did not work.

I then tried to specify RemoteBindAddress = 192.168.0.87, restarted firebird but again,  that did not work

I also tried RemoteBindAddress = Any but had no luck as well.

 

I do not have a firewall installed, I am not using the guardian.

 

I have tried this on two other installations with identical results.

 

Has anyone been able to get Firebird 2.5 SuperClassic to work on Ubuntu Server 14.04?

 

Best regards
