I just installed firebird on my server and am trying to get it
started. When I execute the init script:

sudo /etc/init.d/firebird2.1-super start


i receive the following message:

* Not starting Firebird 2.1 server manager
* Use `dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.1-super' to enable.

,So I run dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.1-super and it prompt me to enter
a password for the db admin, but then it fails and i receive the
following error:

* Firebird 2.1 server manager not running.
find: `/var/run/firebird/2.1': No such file or directory
