Yep, there was a duplication (www being packaged in=20
/usr/share/refdb-0.9.7/www and in /var/www/refdb/), and i fixed some=20
permissions.

BTW, i think you should not have 755 permissions for AUTHORS, ChangeLog,=20
COPYING, INSTALL, NEWS, READM files. They should be 644 like the file=20
UPGRADING for instance.

Yes, this is also my conclusion, the phpweb is useless as it is. I=20
haven't been able to use it, even if the db was created correctly and=20
refdbc worked ...

I don't have such setup on my computer (or at least not yet ;-).

Things can be a little different on those systems since the dependency=20
tree is somewhat different and naming conventions may differ. Other than=20
this the rpm should be installable (i need to removed some Mandriva=20
specific macros in case of a general rpm).

That would require little work, but since i'm gaining experience in rpm=20
building, i think i'll be able to obtain it after having polished the=20
Mandriva rpm ;-)

So far i've tested only refdb + pgsql and importing from examples, i'll=20
try to test other combinations.
