Thanks Philippe! > /sbin/service firebird-superserver start
WORKS to start the server. My next problems is that gsec does not like me. "Your username and password are not defined" -- yet I am using SYSDBA with the default password. When I run this from / as root, whereis security2 , no files are found. Is that normal? Isn't security2.fdb the storage of the usernames? Thank you also for explaining about the symbolic links - got it. I will probably start the installation again from the beginning. At this point I have tried YUM, then the RPM files for AMD64 and x64, then deleted all the firebird files, then reinstalled with YUM. So I could believe that a file or two is mixed up. I had some surprising messages when I tried the RPM files. I will post those in a separate thread. -Ann --- In [email protected], philippe makowski <pmakowski@...> wrote: > > hrefofficemanager [2012-02-16 21:00] : > > Hi, This is regarding a new clean install of CentOS 6.2, 64-bit. > > > > As root, I ran these 2 commands, without errors: > > > > rpm -Uvh > > > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm > > > > yum install firebird firebird-superserver > > > > Firewall port 3050 is open for tcp and udp. > > > > Firebird did not start automatically.
