[ginp-users] Setup Wizard fails with war v0.23

[Brian B. <Br...@Pi...>]

I have exactly the same problem as described in

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11688942

called "Error-Report".

I've read everything on the users and developers archive, as well as the documentation shipped with the source.

By running the wizard against invalid paths, I've confirmed that I've got good permissions for the ginp.xml path and the photos path.

I just can't figure out what Justin meant by "I think you need at least one public collection for ginp to work", so I can't get past the crash in the wizard.

I found WEB-INF/classes/net/sf/ginp/test/ginp.xml and copied (more in hope than confidence) to /home/ginp/config, but I can't stop the wizard running. I looked in web.xml, but there doesn't seem to be a parameter 
to define the default location of the config file to the servlet.

As a newbie to ginp, this is a catch-22. The wizard always runs because it can't find an existing configuration file. The wizard crashes because I must have at least one public collection. I tell the wizard that my 
collection IS PUBLIC, but it still crashes. I don't know where/what to create so that I can bypass the wizard and manually configure my system.

As I said, I'm currently running the war from SourceForge. I don't want to start building from source and make life more complex, UNLESS the bug is fixed in the latest source.

Could anyone please tell me how to get started with ginp, or just where to RTFM?
