Installation as a service
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firebird can be manually set up to run as a service in a windows
|
||
|
|
environment by executing the following steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Make sure that an existing version of Firebird is not running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Unzip the archive into the new directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Set the FIREBIRD env var to point to the root of this directory.
|
||
|
|
(It is also recommended that the FIREBIRD env var also be used in
|
||
|
|
the PATH env var, rather than hard-coding a path.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- change the current directory to <root>\bin (here and below
|
||
|
|
<root> is the directory where v2.1 files are located)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Execute either install_super.bat or install_classic.bat depending
|
||
|
|
on architecture required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- optionally, you can copy both fbclient.dll and gds32.dll
|
||
|
|
to the OS system directory. To do so, use the provided instclient.exe
|
||
|
|
tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Execution as an application
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, Firebird can be run as an application. Most of the instructions
|
||
|
|
for installing as a service should be followed. However, you should skip the
|
||
|
|
step to run the batch file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firebird is run as application by executing it with the -a switch:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fbserver.exe -a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation with a different service name
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A new feature of Firebird 2.1 is the option to run multiple Firebird services
|
||
|
|
simultaneously. To do this you need to make appropriate changes to the
|
||
|
|
firebird.conf file and then run instsvc with the -name option. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
instsvc install -auto -superserver -guardian -name secondservice
|
||
|
|
instsvc start -name secondservice
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The install_super.bat and install_classic.bat will do this automatically for
|
||
|
|
you. After modifying the firebird.conf file just pass the servicename as a
|
||
|
|
parameter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
install_super.bat secondservice
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Uninstallation
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- To remove FB 2.1 you should run the uninstall.bat.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Pass the service name as a parameter if you have installed Firebird to
|
||
|
|
use a different service name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- If you used instclient to deploy a library to system32 you should run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
instclient.exe remove <libname>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Delete installation directory. You may wish to keep the log file, security
|
||
|
|
database, firebird.conf and aliases.conf.
