Installing and setting up the Firebird SQL server

1. Download and install the evaluation software onto your server. You can use the links below to download the software:

Click here to download the EasyCert evaluation
or click here to download the EasyPAT evaluation
or click here to download the EasyGas evaluation

2. Once the evaluation software is installed on your server, click Start > EasyCert > Database Server.

3. If you are running it for the first time, you will be prompted to install the Firebird SQL Server as displayed below, click Yes to start the installation.

The Downloading Firebird SQL Server window will then be displayed as shown below.

Once the download completes, the Firebird installation setup wizard will then be started and install the Firebird SQL Server onto your computer as shown below.

4. Once the installation setup wizard completes, the Firebird SQL Server software will now be installed on your computer. Now click Start > All Programs > EasyCert > Database Server.

The Database Server settings window will then be displayed. The Status window will display the current status of the Firebird SQL Server and the server IP Address. If everything is listed as OK then the server is correctly configured and running.

The server runs on port 3050 so the Windows Firewall must be configured to allow incoming connections through this port. If you have other third party Firewall software installed this must also be configured to allow port 3050 to receive incoming connections.

The Database Server is now successfully installed and configured, you can now click OK to close the Settings window.

The IP Address is the database server IP Address, the one listed in the status window when setting up the server software.
