Thanks Vincent, but that is what is so odd! I'm not trying to start an
application in lazarus, I am trying to start the firebirdSQL service on
my XP computer, LOL!
I started playing around with the Powtils stuff a couple of days ago.
This morning I was trying to ouput the file to the cgi directory of my
local apache test server so I changed the Target File property to my cgi
directory.
At one point, I went to connect to an FB database and couldn't connect
to it, so I went into Windows services and tried to restart firebird
service and that is when I get the error message shown in the
screenshot, which happens to be the same error message for the cgi apps
I was testing with Lazarus.
I uninstalled and removed the cgi directory for apache and uninstalled
Lazarus as well, but still get the problem.
Really weird.
OK, figured out what the problem was. I had setup apache in the default folder
suggested by the installer under program files. In lazarus, I had set Target
Filename to C:\program files\..... in order to create the cgi in the default cgi
folder for apache.
Lazarus got confused and created an executable file named "Program" under the
the C:\ drive!!!
Windows was complaining something awful when restarted and of course, Firebird
wouldn't start either. Not sure why that caused a problem, but I deleted the
file and everything works as it did.
Well, not lazarus or apache. I have to re-install those now <g>.
