Firebird Documentation Index → Firebird 1.0 Quick Start → Default disk locations |
The following table describes the default disk locations for the components on Windows and Linux.
Firebird 1.0 still uses many of the same locations, component names and resource links as InterBase 6.x and prior versions of InterBase. Hence, it is not possible to run both a Firebird server and an InterBase server on the same machine with these versions - at least not at the same time. This restriction has been removed in Firebird 1.5.
