Re: SQL Ledger on Red Hat anyone?

[James T. <ja...@ci...>]

What are the permissions of the appropriate files. I found that sql-ledger
did this to me.

Okay you are but a gnats whisker (do they have whiskers I thought they had
probosci) from getting it going.

Unfortuantely you are going to have to compromise your security for a while.

at the commandline from the sql-ledger directory
as the owner or su enter:
chmod 777 users/memebers

You may have to do this with the directory itself.
chmod 777 users

and hey presto your security is completely compromised.

Also who does apache run as.
You MAY find that it is as 'nobody' or 'apache' it is best that you match
the two up. or even set it to nobody.

after you have you db set up and users made, play with making it the
permissions more secure until you break it again.
BTW I do not reccomend doing any of this over an unsecured internet
connection.

Regards
James
