I reconfigured firebird3 as follows; ./configure --prefix=/opt/firebird --with-fbconf=/etc/firebird
When I start the firebird server I get # telinit run firebird3 start firebird3: Starting Firebird Server firebird3: success /etc/firebird//security3.fdb unavailable database I am not sure if this is because of the // in above message, or why it appears like that. Previously I put everything in /opt/firebird and it worked the start command was: su -s "/bin/sh" -c "/opt/firebird/bin/firebird" -l "firebird" ~$ ls -l /etc/firebird/ total 960 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 524 Mar 18 13:22 aliases.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5295 Mar 18 13:21 fbtrace.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root root 25376 Mar 18 13:22 firebird.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root root 26023 Mar 18 13:21 IDPLicense.txt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 intl -r--r--r-- 1 root root 24301 Mar 18 13:21 IPLicense.txt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 plugins -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128 Mar 18 13:21 plugins.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 687 Mar 18 13:21 README -rw------- 1 firebird firebird 868352 Mar 18 13:21 security3.fdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 397 Mar 18 13:21 WhatsNew $ ls -l /opt/firebird total 1796 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 4 09:09 doc dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 examples -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Mar 18 13:21 fb_init lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 18 13:21 firebird.log -> /var/log/firebird.log -r--r--r-- 1 root root 140900 Mar 18 13:21 firebird.msg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:08 help -r--r--r-- 1 root root 26023 Mar 14 09:57 IDPLicense.txt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:08 include drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 intl -r--r--r-- 1 root root 24301 Mar 14 09:57 IPLicense.txt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 lib drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Mar 4 09:09 misc drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:21 plugins -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 687 Mar 14 09:57 README -rw------- 1 firebird firebird 720896 Mar 3 17:13 security2.fdb -rw------- 1 firebird firebird 868352 Mar 18 13:21 security3.fdb.xx drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:08 UDF -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 397 Mar 14 09:57 WhatsNew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
