InterBase access from a web server application

Question:

How can I access Local Interbase from a web server application?

I'm using NT and getting the error message "Unknown user name 
or password." when attempting to access Local Interbase from a 
Web server application. How do I fix the problem?

Answer:

Make the following changes to your configuration:

Interbase must be running as a service (not as an app w/ 
tray icon).  Which you can change by clicking on the 
Properties for the tray icon for IB.
Both the Interbase server and WWW Server must have the 
following right set: Control Panel | Services | 
InterBase Server | Startup make sure "Allow Service to 
Interact with Desktop is checked".
