Problem: I created a shadow file and can see the shadow file, but when readying the database, I get the error "The shadow path was deleted from database due to unavailability" in the interbase.log file. Solution: The information in this document applies to: * InterBase v3.3 Check the file permissions on the shadow file and see if the user has write permissions to it or not. Depending on who created the database with the shadow file, the shadow file may have default permissions such as (RW-R-R). When another user tries to access it, he will get the above error. A recommended solution would be to change the file permissions to (RW-RW-RW) or 666.
