I have installed 2.5 on Ubuntu, and I can connect to the current database with ISQL easily: connect "192.168.155.112:C:\database\database.FDB" user 'SYSDBA' password 'adminpassword'; So I stopped the firebird services on the Windows server, copied the file to the Ubuntu server, and in isql tried to run: SQL> connect "localhost:/var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/database.FDB" user 'SYSDBA' password 'adminpassword'; Statement failed, SQLSTATE = m file /var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/database.FDB is not a valid database Note I have so far tried: ~$ sudo adduser `id -un` firebird [sudo] password for luke: The user `luke' is already a member of `firebird'. As well as # chown firebird /var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/database.fdb With no luck, if anyone has any idea as to why I might be getting this error, I would be very grateful :) I am not sure if Super or Classic was used on Windows, however I have tried using both on Ubuntu with the same error message. Windows server version 2.5.6, same version on Linux Regards, -- Luke Crooks
