Topic: Where's the Autoexec.bat :)

I installed Firebird 1.5 on my SME 6 and all works great, but I don't know how to make the service start automatically after rebooting the server..

Here's what I have to do manually after a reboot.

cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
.firbird start

What do I need to change to get that automated into the reboot process?

Thanks

I did this...

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service S96firebird
reboot

but after the reboot, the service was still stopped.. -- any ideas?

[root@linux1 root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/firebird status
fbserver is stopped
[root@linux1 root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/firebird start
[root@linux1 root]# rver:                                  [   OK   ]


Thanks,

You are going to let us know how firebird works on sme!

Hi Chris,

Please, could you tell us how you did this install ? Some collegues tried but got a problem with PHP due to the libraries they installed to satify the dependencies of the rpm of Firebird... Did you got this problem, and how did you solved it ?

By the way, does somebody knows where to find a rpm to install Firebird 1.5 SS on a P90 ? I was able to find only an i686 version...

Hi,

For those who look for the solution to install Firebird, it's just here. I put a script and the needed libraries here.

Enjoy !
