Hi Tony
 
Yes I had a working 3.0 environment, I stopped the service, replaced all files and folders and kept the cfg files only as the config was already operational, and then restarted the service. Run a restore with no issues, but the when trying to access the DB from another machine's IBExpert that was previosuly connecting fine with this server, the error message appeared,
 
Cheers,
Fabian

Hi Fabian

Did you have v3.0.0 installed before copying over the 3.0.1 snapshot. If not you may have to reinstall v3.0.0 as it uses a new security design and then copy the latest snapshot.

(I updated v3.0.0 the the latest snapshot last night as Dimitry explained and FB seems fine)

Regards
Tony

After replacing the existing install with the snapshot I am getting the following error on connection:

And the Firebird.log file is not present (I deleted the old file before replacing the FB installation with the snapshot files, and after restarting the service the log file is not being created)
 
Any idea what's going on??

   Just stop Firebird and unpack the archive over existing installation overwriting
everything except configuration files and security database.
