Hi Felipe, I had the same issue with my first installation of firebird on Mac. Looks to me that you haven't added your user to the firebird user group; firebird seems to be quite strict in terms of security / access rights for its respective files. How to add your user depends on your OS X version but you will find plenty of stuff out there...the following worked for me (Yosemite): dseditgroup -o edit -u XXX -p -a YYY -t user firebird Whereby XXX is your computer's administrator and YYY is your user. In general re. installations, etc. for firebird I would recommend the official documentation Firebird Database Server on Mac OSX [1]. It's pretty comprehensive, but I have to admit the figuring out the above mentioned user-related issue took me some while, too.

I don’t understand your directory structure too. On Linux, when I install Firebird, it creates a directory in /opt/firebird, and here /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.frameworks/, but have several directories with severals symbolics links. Can someone explain me? Thank you. Ass. Felipe Mathais

Hm...it's probably not a good idea to put your database into the system folder (/Library/...) Have you tried working in your own user directory ~?

But, I creates a diretory “dados” using sudo mkdir in /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Resourses/dados and I copied my database “freedom_homologacao.fbk” on there.

David William IIRC on Mac firebird installs in classic mode, so connections are dealt by forked server instances - that is in case of classic fb_inet_server You may try from the terminal: /path/to/isql -user SYSDBA -password whateveritis 127.0.0.1:/path/to/database for further informations: http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/papers_presentations/html/paper-fb-macosx.html hth, marcus [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
