Users should note that there -was a package called `firebird-1.0.tgz' released in mid-August -2000. Unfortunately, that package was released before Firebird -version numbering conventions were established, so although the -version number would suggest that it is newer than the current -release, it is certainly not. Users of the August 1.0 package -should upgrade to 0.9_4 or later, which has fixed many bugs and -security problems, including the recently-discovered back door. - - Firebird originally required a running copy of Firebird (or -InterBase) in order to build itself. This port uses a boot kit to -overcome that, so that it does not require itself to build. -Unfortunately, the side effect of this is that if you have a lock -manager running from an already-installed version of Firebird or -InterBase, this port will not build. - - Firebird is installed SUID with owner and group `firebird'. -This does affect where you can and cannot create databases when -connecting remotely, as well as which existing databases you can -access. 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 gds' 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/interbase/isc4.gdb -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. - - 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.
