I am on 10.10.2 and the instructions below worked for me without a problem...
I saw the port number switching from 3050 -> 3051

But you must:
launchctl unload org.firebird.gds.plist
launchctl load org.firebird.gds.plist
after changing the port no.

hi paul,

thank your for help.

bevore my question i have changed the /etc/service file to this:

gds_db 5143/udp # gds_db (buhl)
gds_db 5143/tcp # gds_db (buhl)

(without „/„ like the other entrys in this file)

since this, firebird has stpped/started many times (reloading,reboot)
but firebird seems to ignore the etc/service file on my system. (?)

any other suggestions for osx 10.10. ?

regards
rené

The following will work.

cd /etc

vi services
change

gds_db 3051/udp
gds_db 3051/tcp

for example.

cd /Library/LaunchDaemons

launchctl unload org.firebird.gds.plist
launchctl load org.firebird.gds.plist

isql>connect 'localhost:/Users/whome/databases/test.fdb' user 'whoever' password 'whatever';

in another terminal window:

lsof -i:3051

Regards
Paul
