I have an 3rd party application running firebird 1.5. I want to install firebird 2.5 instance, with my application, without affecting the other app.
I was able to do this by downloading the install kit from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/firebird/firebird-win32/2.5.4-Release/Firebird-2.5.4.26856-0_Win32.zip http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/firebird/firebird-win32/2.5.4-Release/Firebird-2.5.4.26856-0_Win32.zip and running instsvc install -auto -superserver -guardian -name secondservice instsvc start -name secondservice I also edited the firebird.conf RemoteServicePort parameter to be 3060 before starting the service Service is up and running. Running netstat on command line did not show any services listening on port 3060 though. I was unable to connect to the second instance using isql localhost\secondservice:employee Docs I followed are http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq60/ http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq60/ http://www.destructor.de/firebird/multiinstance.htm http://www.destructor.de/firebird/multiinstance.htm http://firebird-tips.blogspot.com.au/2009/12/firebird-21-manual-installation.html http://firebird-tips.blogspot.com.au/2009/12/firebird-21-manual-installation.html My questions are 1. Why does not netstat show firebird listening on 3060 which was edited on the conf? 2. How do I connect to the second instance(second service)
