This means your firebird server is not started. You can test this by opening a
console window
and typing
ps aux | grep fbserver
If the output is empty, then firebird is not running. You should start firebird:
As root, do a
rcfirebird start
If that doesn't start it, try the following commands:
cd /etc/init.d/
./firebird start
To make sure that Firebird starts when you boot your computer, do (again as
root)
insserv /etc/init.d/firebird
That should make sure it is started always when you boot your computer
