why do I always get "SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for root"

in interbase log file?

How can i start-up the ibserver?

Thanks.

Aristo, Ibase is actually running, but not accepting connections
for root, that is, only accepting network connections.
Try ps -e | grep interbase , to see if it is running.
In this ng it thoroughly posted the solution to this issue.
Assuming you are using Super Server.
Best regards.

I get the same error, but the server _does_ start

BUT: NEVER START THE SERVER AS ROOT!!!!!

run ibserver using a different user, do NOT start it as root, you can do
really {*word*193} things when interbase is running as root.
