Networking

[EricDraven]

Stage III of the masterplan!

I now have the database created, the code of my application is beginning to take shape, all should be well! I am however stuggling to setup the system across the network! I have setup Interbase on a networked machine and transferred my Database to there. This is fine!

Using IBConsole, I can access the database fine, but when I try to set the IBDatabase component in Delphi to this path, I receive the following error.

I/O error for file "Mypath\MyDBase.GDB"
Error while trying to open file
unknown Win32 error 53.

I am aware that using the TCP/IP protocol I need to enter the IBDatabase path as <Server Name>:<Path> but all it does is return the error above! Is there anything I need to set on the Interbase server machine in order to correctly access the database via Delphi! Hopefully one of you can shed some light on the situation.

Ahhhh, figured it out! I wasn't passing the full name of the file after entering the server name. One other thought has just entered my head though, does anybody know of any setup wizards for third party users to automatically install interbase on their network or would such a thing have to be made by myself (Gulp)?

I experienced this issue before, the fault is when I use CD Writer to burn the huge database and copy to another PC, the database will get corrupted. So I try to zip first then burn into CD, and finally it work fine after copy to another PC.

I u are not doing so, then I believe the database is corrupted or that might be some write protection to prevent u to access the database. Try to check sharing and security setting for your O/S to grant permission.

Good Luck

Ehm - why would your DB get corrupted then? Was it still in use? 'Cause then you SHOULD NOT copy the database file.
