Re: [cobalt-developers] re: *How to enable Interbase

["William L. Thomson Jr." <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to start IneterBase a while back and after uncommenting the last lines of my inetd.conf file
and restarted the service, I was blocked out of all ports except for www.  I have not tried this
since installing the recent patches.  Has this problem been fixed and is it safe to attempt again?

It also made the Cobalt OS/GUI not recognize any of my sites, after I restored inetd and regained
access to my server again.

More to the point, has anyone attempted or successfully installed the Super Server Edition?

Is it recommended to remove the CS version prior to installing the SS version?

Just curious....
