Installing Firebird DBMS. Installing Firebird under Windows Installing Firebird 2.5 Server

Note that the utility mentioned in some manuals insteg.which is used to register (and delegate) installation of Firebird in windows registry, In the case of use on one server, several instances of Firebird 2.5 should not be used categorically. Otherwise, the correct sharing of several instances of Firebird on one server can be broken. If in the system still for some reason used the InStreg utility, or the installation of the "default" instance of Firebird was simply satisfied with the standard installer ( eXE-File), during which Instreg is called, before starting several services with different instances of Firebird, you need to pre-delete information about installing Firebird using the command insteg Remove..

In our example, configuring Firebird services is performed on a clean system and without the use of the installer, so the preliminary execution of the command insteg Remove. We will not need.

So, we will proceed to the registration of Firebird instances.

Open the command line with administrator rights, go to the directory with the executable files of the first instance of the Firebird and execute the instance of the instance service command using the utility instsvc. (Request information about the keys to the utility and its version can be launched with the option -Z.):

CD / D D: \\ FBinst1 \\ Bin \\ Bin Install -ZUPERSERVER -demand -Name Instance1

In the Registration Team, we use the following options:

    install - Installing a new instance of Firebird

    superServer. - Instance mode (one of three possible modes For Firebird 2.5)

    demand. - The service being created is configured on manual launch (it is necessary in order to start its pre-nodule before starting the service)

    name. - The name of the Firebird instance, which will be serviced by the service.

During the fulfillment of the last command, we must receive a message about the successful registration of the service.

By analogy, we carry out the registration of the second instance of Firebird, be sure to prior to the appropriate directory:

CD / D E: \\ FBinst2 \\ Bin \\ Bin Install Install -SuperServer -demand -Name Instance2

Now let's get into the control windows services (services.msc.) And make sure that two new services appeared in the list of services and they are in an invincible state.

Open the properties of the first instance of the Firebird and on the tab GENERAL. Configure automatic service startup type

Switch to the tab Log ON. and choose the previously created service account gMSA.On behalf of which this service should be executed. Note that since the GMSA account is used, the "$" symbol must be present at the end of the name, and the field with a password should be left blank (the server OS will authenticate this account in the domain). When saving the settings on the button Apply We will receive a message that the entry into the system as a service is automatically added for the account as a service ( LOG ON AS A SERVICE)

Switch to the tab Recovery. And configure the automatic restart of the service in case of its collapse. Rules for restarting, of course, each configures at its discretion. In our example, two attempts are left to restart, and the third and subsequent attempts are disabled (so as not to enter the service in the infinite cycle of reboot attempts in case of some significant problems).

By analogy, we configure the second service, which was created for the second instance of Firebird. For the second service, all settings may be similar with the exception of the account, on behalf of which it will run. After the Firebird instances of Firebird instances are configured, try to run them.

Services must be launched without long delays and errors.

Make sure that after launching services from each of the Firebird instances, the system appeared TCP.-Recurity for accepting client connections on a previously specified port.

Netstat -na | FINDSTR 305.

Do not forget to open the appropriate ports in Windows Firewall. You can quickly do it, for example, with PowerShell:

New-NetFirewallrule -DisplayName "Firebird Server (Instance1)" - Direction "InBound" `- Protocol" TCP "- Action" Allow "- Localport" 3051 "New-NetFirewallrule -DisplayName" Firebird Server (Instance2) "- Direction" INBOUND " `- Protocol" TCP "- Action" Allow "- LocalPort" 3052 "

Now both deployed firebird instances can be considered running and ready to work.

Run Firebird on Linux / Unix

Superserver

Default Installation Catalog / OPT / Firebird. The / bin directory is in binary format Firebird FBServer server (IBServer for Firebird 1.0.x), which is started as a daemon process in Linux / Unix. It starts automatically after installation using an RPM or script and each time the server is restarted by the Firebird Demon script, located in /etc/rc.d/init.d (or /etc/init.d in SUSE), which causes a utility command line Firebird Manager - fbmgr.bin. Firebird Manager can be used from the command line to start and stop the process manually.

Launch Server

If you start the Firebird manually for different reasons, connect to it as user root. or Firebird. Remember what account you used when running FBServer, because all the created objects will be belonging to the user with this account. If later another user will launch the process using another account User, these objects will be unavailable.

To start the process, run the following command from the command line:

./fbmgr.bin -start -Forever

./ibmgr -Start -Forever

The -Forever switch means that Guardian will manage the launch. When using Guardian, the server process will be re-run, if it is completed for any reason.

To start the server without using Guardian, enter:

./fbmgr.bin -start -onece

For versions of Firebird preceding 1.5, follow:

./ibmgr -STart -ONce

Switch -ONCE means that if the server is emergency completed, it will be possible to restart it only manually.

Stop Server

For security purposes, make sure whether all the database connections are disabled before you stop the server.

The -shut switch cancels all current transactions and stops the server operation immediately.

You do not need to be connected as a root user to stop Firebird FBMGR, but you must have SYSDBA user authority. Run the following command.

./fbmgr.bin -shut -password.<пароль SYSDBA>

Use the command to versions preceding 1.5:

./ibmgr.bin -shut -Password.<пароль SYSDBA>

Managed completion of work

On this platform, Firebird has no utility to count the number of custom connections to the database for the superserver. If you need to provide customers with time interval to complete the work and correct shutdown, complete the work of individual databases using the GFIX tool with the -ShUT switch and one of the available arguments for disabling management. (See section. "Stop database" in chapter 39.)

Other FBMGR teams

Syntax

From the command line:

./fbmgr.bin -komand [-Relation [Parameter] ...]

Alternatively, you can start an Interactive FBMGR or IBMGR session from the command line (for example, going to the prompt mode). Type:

./fbmgr.<нажмите Return/Enter>

in order to proceed to the next hint:

In mode with the syntax of command syntax:

FBMGR\u003e Team [-Replay [Parameter] ...]

For example, you can start the server in one of the following ways. From the command line:

./fbmgr -STart. -Password Password In the prompt mode:

FBMGR\u003e START -PASSWORD Password

Switches fbmgr.

We will reflect the detailed step-by-step A, the installation of the Firebird Server, roving on the Microsoft Windows platform.

Shgg 1.

Load Firebird from the official server page or C, you need a server version 2.1 and higher. Then run the executable EX file. A window will appear where you need to select the installation language.

Aggg2

After Europe, the GKAK chose the Language The Firebird Installation Wizard appears, which will help to strengthen the server:

Step 3.

Here we are provided with a licensing agreement.

To go to the next step, you must adopt the terms of the agreement. Choosing " I accept the terms of the agreement"And clicking" Next ", we will see the window with for more information About installing the program:

Step 4.

Now MN should choose that folder where we want to install the server. By default, we are offered a path of the ruffle, shown in the drawing, HP can be changed to any other.

Step 5.

At this step, you need to select a database server configuration:

To install Firebird to the PeweEE-server (where the database itself will be azmens), specify "Full installation of server and development tools":

Also on this Chase You must select Firebird Server Configuration: Classic Server or SuperServer. In order not to go into the description of the differences in Classic Server and SuperServer, we suggest you choose the type of Firebird Server for the following criteria:

If the installation is produced on a server machine or multiprocessor station with a given than a large number of connections (more than 30), select Firebird Classicm3rver.

If the number of connections is small or work station not enough powerful - put superserver

If we talk about the details of the Classic Server and SuperServer implementation, then Classic Server for each client configured a separate server process, and SuperServer processes all customers in one process.

Step 6 g Creating a folder in the menuStart

Step 7.

At this stage of installation, you must select additional parameters for the server:

o Remove the checkbox Use Guardian to manage the server".

o Hold " Run as a service".

Why do you need Firebird Guardian?

Firebird Guardian - application controlling the presence of the Firebird process. If the server has been stopped, it will automatically start it. To start as a service, it makes no sense to use this feature as Windows itself restarts the service that has been completed after an error.

If you install the Firebird server on Windows Vista., then checkInstall Pupil's Applet Extension"It is necessary to remove.

We have chosen additional tasks for the server, after that everything is ready to install - click Install:

After the process is completed, a window appears with information recommended to read:

Step 9 - Run Firebird

At the end of the installation you will be offered to launch the Firebird service SQL Server. Click "Write". So, we have installed the server to our computer. Covert to manage Firebird (stop / run service) You must open Control Panel and double-click Open "Firebird 2.1 Server Manager":

Important! If you previously installed the InterBase database server, then it must be deleted (uninstall), otherwise normal work Firebird database servers will be difficult. You can make it using the "Install and Delete Programs" utility in the "Control Panel" (as a rule, it is located in the My Computer folder). If you have installed Windows XP SP2 or more early version, We strongly recommend updating it to Service Pack 3 (SP3).

1) Download from the next site the Firebird Server distribution, as well as all the necessary instructions: http: // ***** / category / Programs_For_mlm.

2) If you install in the Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system, then click on the "FireBird_25.exe" distribution (the file name with the distribution system may differ depending on the version) right-click Mouse and in the drop-down menu, select "Run on the administrator name", then confirm the start on behalf of the administrator if the user account control system will give an appropriate request. IN operating systems Windows XP, Windows 2000 and more younger windows versions, Just double-click the Firebird_25.exe Distribution File.

Important! Firebird database server in operating windows systems Vista or Windows 7 must be installed on behalf of the administrator!

If you see the picture on the screen as on Fig. one (from above, near the logo, the inscription "The Firebird Service IS Running"), then the Firebird database server is running. If you see on the screen wallpaper as on Fig. 2. (The logo will cross the red cross, and next to running "The Firebird Service Is Not Running"), then the FireBird database server is stopped and you must run it, for this press the "Start" button in the upper left corner of the window.

Check the point in the "Start" field near the "Automatically" inscription. If it stands near the inscription "MANUALLY", then click on the "Automatically" inscription and click on the "Apply" button - thus the server will start automatically when the computer is loaded.

Manage the Firebird database server (run, stop, etc.) in Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can only via service management. To do this, click on the Start button (button on the task manager or the keyboard key with the image of the Microsoft logo):

Then right-click on the "Computer" paragraph, in the drop-down menu, select "Control".

The following window opens:

Double-click on "Services and Applications", then on "Services".

Find the Firebird Server service in the list of services:

If the service status "works", the Firebird database server is run, if there is no status in the status cell (it is empty), then it must be launched. To do this, right-click on the Firebird Server service name, in the drop-down menu, select Run.
