ibase_connect to local host fails, why ???

[fenny]

Hi out there... please help !!!

Code: Select all

$dbfile = 'c:\databases\test.ib';
ibase_connect($dbfile, $dbusername, $dbpassword, 'ISO8859_1');


creates this error: unavailable database btw: I promisse the database file is there!!!

Code: Select all

$dbfile = 'localhost:c:\databases\test.ib';
ibase_connect($dbfile, $dbusername, $dbpassword, 'ISO8859_1');


creates this error: Unable to complete network request to host "localhost". Failed to establish a connection. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. and again: I promisse that there is a localhost.

What do I do wrong?

Best regards,

Fenny.

could you try with telnet if the port is open ?

Code: Select all

telnet localhost 3050
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to borkstation.
Escape character is '^]'.


1.did you tried with 127.0.0.1 ?

2.also there is any antinvirus there ?

3.also check the comments from the manual ...

4.maybe you should check with netstat if the firebird is listening on the 3050 port
