In every computers I tried there is exactly the same version of Firebird
installed: 2.1.4.18393 32 bits.
The databases where generated with the same version of Firebird. And
remember that if I use an alias, I can open the database. The problem is
when I try to open it using the path of the database file C:\Test\... .FDB.
I can even generate the database in the same computer (using an alias)
and then I cannot open it using the path of the database file.

You’re not switching between 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Firebird
are you?
I’m not sure exactly when the change occurred but I remember similar
issues trying to open a 32 bit generated database with a 64 bit
version of Firebird or vice versa. It’s definitely okay with v2.5 but
not sure about v2.1 as it’s been some time since I use v2.1 for anything.
When you open it successfully on another computer, is it the same
bitness of Firebird, 32 bit or 64 bit?

Just a little correction to my message. Where I wrote firebird.conf, I
should have written aliases.conf.

Hello:
I use Firebird 2.1 and in some computers I cannot open a database
file which is in the local hard disk.
For example, let's suppose I have the database
C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB and I try to open it with IB_SQL (from
IBObjects).
If I use C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB I get "unavailable database".
If I use SERVERNAME:C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB I get "unavailable
database".
If I use \\SERVERNAME\C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB
<file:///%5C%5CSERVERNAME%5CC:%5CTest%5CMYDATABASE.FDB> I get
"unavailable database".
If I modify firebird.conf creating the alias
MYDATABASE=C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB, then using MYDATABASE I can
open the database.
In almost every computer with any Windows version (XP, 7, 10,
2003, 2008, 2012, 2016) I can open the database using every one of
the four methods, but in some computers the first three methods
return "unavailable database" and I can open the database only
using an alias. Now I am having the problem in a computer with
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1, but I
remember having this problem in other computers from time to time.
Any ideas of which may be the reason? ... and the solution?
Thanks in advance. Regards
Eduardo
