Hello,
I'm experiencing something weird with Firebird after I upgraded my OSX to Lion
(10.7). On Snow Leopard, everything ran smoothly. After the upgrade, I couldn't
connect with any fdb on my local machine.
After reinstalling (I use FirebirdCS-2.1.4-18393-lipo - I need both 32 and 64
bits libraries), I can connect to local databases only if they are not on my
home directory (/Users/guimas). It always gives me a "permission denied", no
matter what the file attributes are.
I've chown the fdb file to firebird:firebird and chmod it to a+r and a+w, and
it didn't help.
I created a directory in /var/lib/firebird, chmod and chown it, and fdbs there
work.
Looking at the firebird.log, I have this message, when I try to connect to a
fdb in my home folder:
imacguimas Wed Aug 10 10:01:45 2011
operating system directive semctl failed
imacguimas Wed Aug 10 10:01:45 2011
Permission denied
So... It works perfectly if the fdbs are not in the home folder. Is that a bug
introduced by Lion?
Thanks,
Guilherme
