[Sandweb-users] Installing SandWeb on Debian Sarge

[Bittner,Peter <Bi...@te...>]

Hi!

I have tried to install SandWeb on Debian/Sarge by the "perl install.PL;
make; make test; make install" method.

I have adapted install.cfg before executing make install and adapted my
site configuration of Apache2 after SandWeb was up and running to make
SandWeb available at https://my.site.url/sandweb (if you know what I
mean).

Now I have a slight problem with adding a home-directory for my Apache
user, i.e. www-data on Debian Linux. I have done a "mkdir
/home/www-data; chown www-data:www-data /home/www-data" and in my
/etc/passwd I have:

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

... well, now I am not sure if it is a good idea to change this line to

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/home/www-data:/bin/bash

What do you guys suggest?

(Note that I am using shadow passwords for the rest of my system, I
don't know how this would fit in the picture.)

Cheers, Peter
