Firebird and phpbb 3.0

I tested the new phpbb 3.0 setup with firebird 1.5.3 and php 4.4.x
and almost i finished the creation of all the tables then it crashes at some point

A fatal and unrecoverable database error has occured. This may be because the specified user does not have appropriate rights to CREATE TABLES or INSERT data, etc. Further information may be given below. Please contact your hosting provider in the first instance or the support forums of phpBB for further assistance.

install_install.php [ 1323 ]

SQL : INSERT INTO phpbb_modules (module_basename, module_enabled, module_display, parent_id, module_class, module_langname, module_mode, module_auth, left_id, right_id) VALUES ('attachments', 1, 1, NULL, 'acp', 'ACP_ATTACHMENT_SETTINGS', 'attach', 'acl_a_attach', 1, 2)

firebird client for ARM platform (KinterbasDB interface)

Hi,
following question was allready posted on firebird-support but no answer:

Se would like to connect our ARM based computers (Linksys NSLU2 with
the DebianSlug Linux) to the firebird database running on the server.
Is there a way how to compile linux Firebird (client ONLY!!!) for ARM
platform?

We are using Python and KinterbasDB Firebird interface, which runs
only, when the Firebird is installed on the machine.

Best regards

Petr Jakes on the firebird-python group

How Products Were Named: How Was "Firefox" Named?

the new name, Firebird, provoked mixed reactions, particularly since thefree database software Firebird uses the same name. In late April,following an apparent name change to Firebird browser for a few hours,the Mozilla Foundation stated that the browser should always bear thename Mozilla Firebird in order to avoid confusion with the Firebirddatabase server. However, continuing pressure from the FLOSS communityforced another change, and on February 9, 2004, Mozilla Firebird becameMozilla Firefox (or Firefox for short).

We are pleased to invite you to download your preferred binary kit for Firebird 2 Release Candidate 4. Though very close, this is still a field-testing release. Please check any problem areas you encountered in RC 3 and report to the Firebird-devel list without delay if something isn't working as you expect.
Please note also that this release will NOT become the final one, due to an issue that appeared after these builds were made.
