Yes, thank you very much. I believe you correctly identified the problem.
It turns out we did not have FIrebird running on our Win7 machine, we
just thought we did. Even though we were running Firebird gbak on the
Win7 machine, it appears gbak was going out through the network and
coming back in to the machine using TCP and connecting via the Interbase
server. I believe that because after I shut down the Interbase server,
gbak would no longer even start to restore the backup file.
So, then I checked to see why the Firebird server was not running. It
appeared to start and then died. The guardian died as well. Something
was not well. Instead of trouble shooting 2.5.2, I downloaded 3.0 to
have the latest.
I uninstalled 2.5.2 using the Win7 Control Panel and then installed 64
bit 3.0. Everything seemed to go correctly using the install_super
batch file. However, neither the server nor the guardian would start
correctly. That was last evening.
I will be out of the office for about a week and when I return I will
try to figure out why FIrebird will not start on my Win7 machine. The
only thing unusual about it is that it runs on a solid state drive.
I am hoping that when I finally get the Firebird server to run on the
Win7 machine it will restore the databases correctly from the backup
files. We do have Firebird running on an XP machine (I will check that)
and the application that uses the database is still working correctly.
We are using Delphi 7 for the applications, Database Workbench 4 for a
support tool, and Firebird as the database engine on almost all machines
except for one, which is still on Interbase.
Again, thank you for your suggestion. I believe it will be the solution
to our problem. We only need the Interbase server running on the Win7
machine when we are working on improving or correcting the applications
still on Interbase.
