[firebird-support] this keeps happening
Hello, Using SAM 2014.3 on Win7 system with built into SAM, Firebird. Whenever I try to reboot my computer it hangs at Shutting Down and though I've waited as long as 10 minutes it doesn't seem to continue so must hit reboot button. When I check the Event Viewer there are occurrences of the same error over and over,all related to Firebird SQL Server with this line of dialogue: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAMBC\firebird.conf: illegal line "[UDF]" Tried removing the line [UDF] but then SAM stops working? Any ideas? Thank You Myk (\o/) ./_\. PS: grabbed latest Firebird but it said if I overwrote the older version I would have to manually configure Firebird. Don't think that's in my scope of knowledge :(

To get useful help from this group, you'll need to include at least the relevant lines of firebird.conf, and a few lines before and after. Good luck, Ann
Re: [firebird-support] this keeps happening
this is from the firebird.conf fileall techno babble to me: # # External Function (UDF) Paths/Directories # # UdfAccess may be None, Full or Restrict. If you choose # Restrict, provide ';'-separated trees list, where UDF libraries # are stored. Relative paths are treated relative to RootDirectory entry # (see above). # # Default value 'Restrict UDF' provides the same restrictions # as in FB 1.0. To specify access to specific trees, enum all required # paths (for Win32 this may be something like 'C:\ExternalFunctions', # for unix - '/db/extern;/mnt/extern'). # # NOTE: THE EXTERNAL FUNCTION ENGINE FEATURE COULD BE USED TO COMPROMISE # THE SERVER/HOST AS WELL AS DATABASE SECURITY!! # # IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THIS SETTING BE USED TO LIMIT # EXTERNAL FUNCTION LOCATIONS! # # Type: string (special format) # #UdfAccess = Restrict UDF [UDF] Mx=2414472 # the message I get in my event viewer is this: The following information was included with the event: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAMBC\firebird.conf: illegal line "[UDF]" I tried removing the line but then SAM stopped working :(

Good catch! All that stuff relates to old versions of those two websites. I have updated the email template so that information should be more useful from now on. Take the Documentation link from the Firebird website, or http://www.ibphoenix.com/resources/documents/ at the IBPhoenix site for more resources. Not that I think anything in those places will help you with your corrupt firebird.conf. Those are developer resources, not much help for end-users of proprietary software products. Did you notice that firebird.conf has a large amount of self-documentation? Again, it is directed at developers, not software end-users. But at least it can explain to you why those strange lines are causing engine errors.
