Connection rejected by remote interface (FB 2.1 SS linux x86)

Question

I'm currently have a Firebird Super Server 2.1 x86 installed at my Ubuntu Server 11.0.

From time to time the server stops accept connections... resulting the error msg above (for clients)

"Connection not established. Connection rejected by remote interface."

To solve the problem, I need to restart the firebird service, and everything becomes OK!

The firebird.log does not tell me anything...

Any ideas about what is happening?

Answer 1

I had a similar instalation stack, and a similar problem.

I upgraded my firebird to version 2.1.4 after reading this bug fix that was backported from 2.5.

At the time, I also had to upgrade my hardware. The problem has not repeated since, but I'm not 100% sure that the upgrade solved the problem

Hope this helps.
