Hello All,
I am trying to test the new Firebird 4 synchronous replication on windows
7 64bit machine with the following configurations:
#databases.conf
master = d:\fb4\master.fdb
replica = d:\fb4\replica.fdb
#replication.conf
database = master
{
sync_replica = sysdba:masterkey@localhost:replica
log_directory = d:\fb4\log\
log_errors = true
verbose_logging = true
}
I create a new database from script,(master.fdb) and then shutdown firebird
server, copy the database to the new file name (replica.fdb) and mark the
it as replica database via gfix like this:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_4_0>gfix -replica read_write
d:\fb4\replica.fdb -user sysdba -pass masterkey
And after starting the firebird server again and connecting and writing to
the master database, nothing changed on the replica database, and also the
replication.log wasn't created in the log path ( d:\fb4\log\ ).
After that I tried to monitor the firebird server via Sysinternals Process
Monitor, and found that the firebird server accessed the master database
file and the replication,conf file, but never accessed or connected to the
replica database file or the replication.log.
