Subject RE: [firebird-support] MON$ATTACHMENTS.MON$REMOTE_ADDRESS showing as 0.0.0.0 in FIREBIRD 2.5.4 on CENTOS 7
Author Edward Mendez

Hello,

 

I guess this is not a common problem, but I believe I was able to resolve this issue.

 

I am posting my resolution incase others are encountering the same problem.

CentOS 7 now uses systemd  instead of init,  I had to look at the corresponding configuration files for firebird. The systemd configuration files for firebird, firebird-classic@.service &  firebird-classic.socket are located in /usr/lib/systemd/system.

 

#cat firebird-classic.socket

[Unit]

Description=Firebird Classic Activation Socket

 

[Socket]

ListenStream=3050

 

I changed the ListenStream to

 

ListenStream=0.0.0.0:3050

 

and restarted the service and now firebird is listening on 0.0.0.0:3050 and not :::3050, which means it is listening on IPV4 protocol.

I was able to verify that the REMOTE IP ADDRESS is returning correctly on the MON$ATTACHMENTS table.

 

Thank you,

 

Ed Mendez

Hello,

 

I have an issue with the MON$REMOTE_ADDRESS column in the MON$ATTACHMENTS table. The IP Address is coming back as 0.0.0.0.

The server is running LI-V6.3.4.26856 Firebird 2.5.4

And it is running 64 bit CENTOS 7 all patched up.

 

I have disabled IPV6 and rebooted and the problem still persists.

 

I also want to mention that we have FIREBIRD 2.5.4 running on a CENTOS 6.7 and that is working correctly. So the issue seems something with CENTOS 7.

 

I came across the following thread that details this issue, but it doesn’t seem to have a resolution. https://www.mail-archive.com/firebird-support@yahoogroups.com/msg12297.html

 

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,
