Subject RE: [firebird-support] Re: Firebird 2.5.4 - CentOS - mon$remote_address 0.0.0.0
Author Marianne Castel - Titelive

Hello ,

 

So Dmitry suggested it , we have disabled IPV6 on our server CentOS 7 (Firebird 2.5.4 Classic server (I forgot to mention it in my first mail)).

By following the centos FAQ : http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS7#head-8984faf811faccca74c7bcdd74de7467f2fcd8ee

Rebooting the server.

But even after this modification the mon$remote_address is still  giving 0.0.0.0

 

Any ideas are welcome.

 

Marianne

Interesting. One possible explanation can be found here:

Firebird 2.x does not support IPv6 and always listens on a AF_INET (i.e.
v4) socket, but maybe it could be related somehow. Have you tried to
disable IPv6 on the new server box?
