Answer 2

In my case, my firebird-super-server was working fine, until I have upgraded packages in my CentOS 7. Then I get an error mentioned below.

ERROR MSG ->

Answer 3

You have no access to intl subfolder. Few reasons:

• You dont have right to access it ( mostly on linux/unix OS )
• using embedded fbembed.dll without copy of intl subfolder
• something wrong with your path, and Firebird fails to find intl subfolder

Most of these causes can be fixed by simple reinstalling server. If it's embedded , then you only need to copy intl folder , where fbembed.dll exists
