Update. Apparently, the mentioned folder disappears after a reboot. Strange thing is that simple stopping and starting the server does *not* remove the folder, but as mentioned, a reboot does remove the folder.
So, it was not sufficient to create and set rights to the folder once. In a workaround, I modified /etc/init.d/firebird1.5-super: added lines (just before the case construct): # Workaround for disappearing folder if [ ! -d /var/run/firebird1.5 ] then mkdir -p /var/run/firebird/1.5 chown firebird /var/run/firebird/1.5/ fi Note that this is only a workaround. The real problem IMO is that the folder is removed, somewhere in the reboot proces. It's not in the init- script (/etc/init.d/firebird1.5-super), so it should happen somewhere else. -- firebird1.5-super does not start due to missing folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
