changeServerMode.sh

[Tomasz Dubiel]

Hello.

I installed Firebird 3.0.10 on Debian. As there are plenty of small databases, I set Server Mode to Classic and used changeServerMode.sh.

And now: how do I manage the Firebird service? As after fresh installation there was firebird-superserver service, now I see something like that:

How can I clean up all of this? How am I supposed to manage Firebird service on this server?

Best regards,

Tomasz.

When I launch:

systemctl --type=service --state=running

I see no Firebird service.

When:

systemctl list-unit-files

I see:

firebird-classic@.service                                                 static
firebird-superserver.service                                            disabled

firebird-classic.socket                                                     enabled

Which command should I use now to stop and start Firebird service?

[Tomasz Dubiel]

As I see, this should happen, but /etc/inetd.conf is untouched.

updateInetdEntry() {
    newLine="gds_db  stream  tcp     nowait.30000      $RunUser ${fb_install_prefix}/bin/firebird firebird # Firebird Database Remote Server"
    replaceLineInFile /etc/inetd.conf "$newLine" "^gds_db"
}

Nothing happened probably because I commented out this line by myself after Firebird installation.

Hi

I do not lnow linux bu do you mean service or active processes?

As classic use 1 process per attachment, superserver use 1 process for all attachments.

I know it, but I have a problem now with how to start and stop Firebird service. If it should be still related to /etc/inetd.conf, I edited it now:

gds_db  stream  tcp     nowait.30000      firebird /opt/firebird/bin/firebird firebird # Firebird Database Remote Server

restarted openbsd-inetd

but still Firebird is available and /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd stop

doesnt work.

[Tomasz Dubiel]

Using this script created a lot of mess. I don't know which command is responsible for managing Firebird service.

[Tomasz Dubiel]

systemctl start firebird-classic

Failed to start firebird-classic.service: Unit firebird-classic.service not found.

restarting openbsd-inetd changes nothing

[Tomasz Dubiel]

Now I see such entries in syslog:

Configuration file /lib/systemd/system/firebird-classic@.service is marked world-inaccessible. This has no effect as configuration data is accessible via APIs without restrictions. Proceeding anyway.

[Tomasz Dubiel]

I think I sorted this out by removing entries firebird-classic.service, firebird-superserver.service and firebird-classic.socket from /lib/systemd/system and restarting openbsd-inetd.

Now /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd stop

stops Firebird

and /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd start

starts Firebird

But there should be really some instructions how to install classic 3.0.10 firebird on Linux...

[Tomasz Dubiel]

Or this script should be deleted if the only thing I needed to do was to change serverMode in firebird.conf...but then firebird classic would be working under firebird-superserver service? Weird.

That should mean, that it used systemd socket activation, not inetd.
Systemd listens at port 3050 and launches firebird process when it
receives connection... IIRC.
