Firebird server problems
Description While FSE daemons/processes are starting up, the following error is reported:
ERROR: Firebird SuperServer (Interbase) is not up and running!
Explanation Firebird is a third-party software used by the Resource Manager for managing resources in FSE
implementations. Firebird software must be installed on the system before you can start FSE
processes. For instructions on how to install the Firebird package, see the FSE Installation
Guide. You can find more detailed information on Firebird on the web site
firebird.sourceforge.net
.
Workaround Proceed as follows:
Linux specific
Check if the Firebird server is running with the following command:
# /etc/init.d/firebird status
If it is running, the output should look like this:
ibserver (pid 896 895 581 577 576) is running...
If the Firebird server is not running, start it with the following command:
# /etc/init.d/firebird start
Windows specific
Check if the Firebird server is running using the Windows Services tool:
1. In Windows Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click
Services.
2. Look for the Firebird Server entry. If it is not running, right-click it, and then click Start.
