About Firebird
Firebird is an open source SQL relational database management system that runs on Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and a variety of Unix. The database forked from Borland's open source edition of InterBase in 2000, but since Firebird 1.5 the code has been largely rewritten
Wikipedia - Main Features
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebird_(database_server)
Classic (CS) or Superserver (SS) ?
Firebird comes in two flavors, called architectures: Classic Server and Superserver. Which one should you install? That depends on your situation. A short overview of the most important differences follows. See http://www.firebirdsql.org/pdfmanual/html/qsg15-classic-or-super.html
How to install Firebird SS on SME
- Choose the version
version 2.5.3.26780
wget ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/databases/firebird/firebird-linux-i386/2.5.3-Release/FirebirdSS-2.5.3.26780-0.i686.rpm rpm -Uvh FirebirdSS-2.5.3.26780-0.i686.rpm
version 2.1.5
A) Enable EPEL repository as from http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel
B) run this:
yum --enablerepo=epel install firebird-superserver
Post Install
- configure Firebird for SME environment
config set firebird-superserver service status enabled ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99firebird-superserver ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc4.d/S99firebird-superserver ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc1.d/S01firebird-superserver service firebird-superserver start
NB. The above commands have been updated by TDBSOFT on 1/1/2017 (with help from Stefano).
The update is to resolve the new service name firebird-superserver changed from firebird.
See http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=52794
- Verify your firebird is running:
netstat -an|grep 3050
should show:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Extracted from: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=45447.0
By default, Firebird just allow access from local networks.
If you wanna to allow INTERNET ACCESS to your Firebird (NOT RECOMMENDED) run:
config setprop firebird access public TCPPort 3050 signal-event remoteaccess-update
Verify the config:
config show firebird
Should show something like:
firebird=service
TCPPort=3050
access=public
status=enabled
Additional note by TDBSOFT 1/1/2017
There is a minor bug in the firebird-superserver service when you run the command
service firebird-superserver start
This will show the following result
Starting Firebird server [default] /usr/bin/dirname: extra operand `-daemon'<br> Try `/usr/bin/dirname --help' for more information. [ OK ]
To resolve this issue edit the file /etc/init.d/firebird-superserver and change the line below
daemon --user=$FBRunUser "export FIREBIRD LD_LIBRARY_PATH; $GUARDIAN -pidfile $pidfile -daemon -forever"
to
daemon --check="X" --user=$FBRunUser "export FIREBIRD LD_LIBRARY_PATH; $GUARDIAN -pidfile $pidfile -daemon -forever"
