Installation of the base on the Linux servers

1. You have to install the Firebird server in version 2.5.2, compatible with the installed Linux system.
2. Firebird occurs in two versions: Super Server and Classic Server. About their differences you can read in the Firebird documentation.
3. Firebirda shoul be downloaded from the website www.firebirdsql.org as a compressed file. Do not install Firebird from the Linux packages. Compressed file should be decompressed and installed using the order install.sh with the root rights. Command syntax:

sudo install.sh

Properly, firebird should be installed in the catalog/opt

During the installation, firebird asks about a new password - enter it, remembering that Unix is case sensitive.

1. copy the files of the modus base to the catalog created by you, e.g. /modus_bases/
2. after copying the files, you have to add the possibility of transcription by others in the rights concerning files ,
3. remember that Modus needs two files of the base name.fdb and bin_name.fdb,
4. remember that the names should be typed in small letters,
5. if you have the firewall - unblock 3050 port - default for the firebird
6. activate on the client's workstation the modusadmin program and in settings enter the IP address, where the base is located and insert the path on this server, e.g. /modus_bases/name.fdb
7. perform a test of connectivity by entering the password for firebird (unblock 3050 port)
8. save settings and run the modus program, remembering about plugging in the security key to the workstation where the modus system is installed( do not plug in the key to the server with the base. The keys are operated only by the Windows system)
