Firebird: Unable to complete network request to host

Question

I\'m trying to connect to a remote Firebird database \"test\" (alias already added). It is not an embedded server, and is installed on VM with IP 192.168.1.147.

Here

Answer 1

Make sure you have excluded tcp port 3050 in VMs' firewall.

Answer 2

Make sure that

1. Firebird is running
2. Firebird is listening on port 3050 on the specified IP (or on 0.0.0.0)
3. Your firewall allows access to port 3050

Answer 3

For Linux, the Firebird port is closed by default. You need to modify RemoteBindAddress in /etc/firebird/2.5/firebird.conf from

RemoteBindAddress = localhost

to

RemoteBindAddress =

and restart service.
