Author moj.mail.qmail

Hello, could someone help me install fb 2.5 on Debian 9 (buster)?

I've installed Firebird from https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/releases/download/R2_5_9/FirebirdSS-2.5.9.27139-0.amd64.rpm

After run install.sh I got:

/opt/firebird/WhatsNew
./usr/sbin/rcfirebird
./etc/init.d/firebird
Done.
Deleting...
Done.
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults

Starting Firebird server:

Netstat shows nothing.

After start /opt/bin/firebird/fbserver manually I got:

root@debian9:/opt/firebird/bin# ./fbserver
