Problem: Getting error "Operating System Directive Open failed -- Permission denied" when trying to connect in Interbase 4.0. Solution: Check the followings: * The user has sufficient permission to the lock file. The lock file usually looks something like "isc_lock1.pooka". If not, remove old lock file and recreate lock file by connecting to a database as root. Or change the permission on the lock file to 666 mask. * Make sure the IB server has the valid IB server license.
