If you want a database to be available remotely, be sure -it's readable and writeable to group firebird. - - There may be times when you manage to get your system into a -state where using any of the Firebird utilites (isql, gbak, gsec, -etc.) gives you the message "semget failed". One surefire way to -do this is to build and install the port. :) If this happens, -make sure that the lock manager is not running and its semaphores -have been removed. The former can be accomplished with 'ps ax -|grep fb' and 'kill'; the latter with 'ipcs -s' and 'ipcrm -s'. - - For example, after building and installing the port, you will -probably go through something like this: - -# isql /usr/local/firebird/security.fdb -Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902 - -operating system directive semget failed --No such file or directory - -# ipcs -s -Semaphores: -T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP -s 1310720 252034728 --rw-rw-rw- root wheel - -# ipcrm -s 1310720 - -and you should be in business. - - Once this is done, you should be able to connect normally to -databases. Your first connection will restart the lock manager. - - There may be times, however, when you still get "semget failed" -even though the lock manager is not running and the semaphores have -been cleaned up. There seems to be a conflict with this release -and the PostgreSQL 7 release as installed from the ports collection. -If you're having trouble with Firebird and you're running PostgreSQL, -try stopping PostgreSQL: - - /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pgsql.sh stop - -and see if that helps. Alternatively, increase the value of SEMMNS -by 48 in your kernel configuration file. This can be found by getting -the current value with 'sysctl -a | grep semmns'. You can either add -this to your kernel config, or add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: - - kern.ipc.semmns=X - -where is is the current value plus 48. If this doesn't resolve the issue, -try adding 48 again. - - Please note that as of RC8, the libgds.so symlink now points to -libfbembed.so. This has been done to resolve compatability issues with -older versions of Firebird. The FreeBSD port of RC7 had libgds.so -pointing to libfbclient.so. libfbclient.so is a remote access-only -shared library with threaded support, which requires target applications -to link with a threaded library such as libc_r.so, libpthread.so or libthr.so. - - Super Server support in Firebird 1.5 for FreeBSD is not currently -available due to the Firebird code using POSIX threads APIs not available -in FreeBSD 4.x or not yet complete in FreeBSD 5.x. This issue will become -more important once the scalability issues of Super Server have been -resolved. - - This installation has already inserted the necessary line to -/etc/inetd.conf so that you can connect to Firebird across the network. -However you may need to add the remote host to /etc/hosts.equiv. For -example, to allow the local machine to make connections to Firebird -using TCP, the following command needs running: - - echo localhost >> /etc/hosts.equiv - -Please note that adding machines to /etc/hosts.equiv can reduce the -security of your system. If in doubt, try connecting to Firebird with -a username and password already defined in security.fdb. For example: - -gsec -> add myuser -pass mypass -> quit -isql -u myuser -p mypass localhost:/usr/local/firebird/examples/employee.fdb - -This should reduce the need for hosts defined in /etc/hosts.equiv. - - Complete documentation for InterBase(tm) is available (free of -charge) from http://www.interbase.com/ in PDF format. While -InterBase and Firebird are two distinct entities, all InterBase -documentation is pertinent to Firebird. More information on Firebird -and InterBase can be found at the following: - - http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/ - http://www.ibphoenix.com/ - http://www.interbase2000.org/ - http://www.firebirdsql.org/ - - Please also see the doc directory in the Firebird package for -documentation specific to Firebird. - -Chris Knight -<chris@e-easy.com.au> |
