Via what program are you getting this message - via AyaNova, via Data Portal, via WBI?

If getting an error always double-check your steps and confirmed what has been done and all is successfull before proceeding:

1. Have you completed the firebird network setup successfully as per the steps in the AyaNova v3 Manual on configuring for network Firebird use? - if not, identify at what step you have completed up to and at what point you are receiving the message, and if not the message above, identify its full text.
2. Provide confirmation of the details determined from the steps of the network Firebird configuration - what is the ip address of this computer that will be the "server", what is the name of this computer that will be the "server", what is the path that you moved the AYANOVA.FDB database file to on this server, has Firebird Server been successfully installed, when editing the SYSDBA password was it successful, is FireBird Manager running, does the AyaNova program connect successfully to the networked Firebird database, etc
3. Provide following files (compress into a Zip file and attach)- i.e. AyaNova.exe.config from the AyaNova program directory on the server, aliases.conf file from the server's Firebird directory, ayalog.txt from the AyaNova program directory on this server

Thank you for providing the details and files requested.

They allowed me to see that your aliases.conf file is not edited as stated to do so in the AyaNova v3 Manual.

This is also identified in the forum topic http://forum.ayanova.com/Topic2336-90-1.aspx?Highlight=%5cData%5cAyaNova%5cAYANOVA.FDB

You have the comment out # symbol in front of the database name and path as in

#
# List of known database aliases
# ------------------------------
#
# Examples:
#
#   dummy = c:\data\dummy.fdb
#  AYANOVA = C:\Data\AyaNova\AYANOVA.FDB

It should be as below WITHOUT the # comment out symbol as shown in the example in the AyaNova v3 Manual and in the forum topic identified above

#
# List of known database aliases
# ------------------------------
#
# Examples:
#
#   dummy = c:\data\dummy.fdb 
AYANOVA = C:\Data\AyaNova\AYANOVA.FDB

Edit you aliases.conf and run AyaNova. I highly recommend that if you encounter an issue to always go back over your steps.
