        @scottalanmiller Is there any web apps that works with firebird?

        There are, but primarily it is for bespoke projects.

          Do the Firebird logs tell you anything? Do a restart on the service and see what the logs say immediately afterwards.

              I've build a new server and just did an install. Definitely looks like things have changed recently. I'm getting the same issues.

                @scottalanmiller it is good to hear that, I thought I was wrong. Now, please look at the log file: it says Can't access lock files's directory /tmp/firebird/

                It seems firebird user has no access to that folder.

                Let me test something, allowing firebird user to access it.

                  @scottalanmiller.

                  Solved:
                  sudo chown -R firebird:firebird /tmp/firebird

                  Thank you very much for your help and guide.

                    Oh awesome, glad that it was not anything crazy. I'll add that to the install instructions up top. That was definitely not needed previously.

                        No. I was just curious about it.

                          chown -R firebird:firebird /tmp/firebird
                          This command doesnt work.
                          Because there is no "firebird" directory in /tmp folder

                            This is a three year old tutorial. The Firebird here, the OS are both out of date. And the package listed no longer works. For a current install, used Firebird 3 on either CentOS 8 or Fedora.
