[DUG] Firebird 1.5 - unavailable database

[Steve Peacocke]

Gidday all,

I've successfully created my database on my local drive. After hours
and hours of real frustration, I am in need of assistance on this.
Normally this would be easily done as I have done this before on other
computers.

Whenever I try to attach to my newly created database (created with
ISQL), I get the error "Unavailable database".

Looking throuigh Google, I find a number of references to gds32.dll
and have definately got that available (as well as FBCLIENT.DLL) in
the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directrory.

In my frustrations, I have....

* Completely removed both Firebird and Interbase from my computer and
ensured neither was running a service.

* Downloaded and installed Firebird 1.5.4 onto my local computer
(ensuring that "copy to system directory" was ticked - copying those
dll's to the system32 directory)

I have attempted, through InterBase/Firebird Development Studio's
(sqlly) Administration Console, to register the database using the
local server - "unavailable database".

I have attempted, through the same tool using the Administration
Console, to register the Local Server using either of gds32.dll or
fbclient.dll with the result of "unavailable database?

Any help to get rid of this "unavailable database" would by much
appreciated at present.

Steve
