Re: [Wifiadmin-users] Getting it to work.

[<dim...@ce...>]

Hello, 

Thank you for joining our mailing list, and using wifiadmin. The problem you
encounter does not seem to be a wifiadmin problem, but a problem of your apache
and php installation.

Make sure that the user apache is running with, can write on the directory
/var/lib/php4. That is where apache saves the session files (files that keep
session variables too).

To see what is the user apache is running with, you could use:

ns:/var/lib/php4# ps aux |grep apache
root      1778  0.0  0.3 23008  408 ?        Ss   Dec18   0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1938  0.0  1.9 23520 2460 ?        S    Dec18   0:04 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1939  0.0  1.8 23464 2404 ?        S    Dec18   0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1940  0.0  2.2 23512 2808 ?        S    Dec18   0:04 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1941  0.0  1.1 23588 1444 ?        S    Dec18   0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  1942  0.0  1.0 23540 1308 ?        S    Dec18   0:05 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  4677  0.0  0.5 23464  736 ?        S    Dec18   0:02 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  4679  0.0  1.2 23464 1628 ?        S    Dec18   0:04 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data  4680  0.0  0.9 23528 1212 ?        S    Dec18   0:03 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data 12084  0.0  1.8 23504 2396 ?        S    Dec19   0:02 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
www-data 14388  0.0  0.9 23464 1220 ?        S    Dec20   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2
-k start -DSSL
root     10984  0.0  0.3  1580  504 pts/14   S+   01:13   0:00 grep apache

Or maybe replace apache with httpd in the previous command.

On my output you can see that my apache is running under user www-data, which is
the default on debian.

My /var/lib/php4 has the following permissions:
ns:~# ls -l /var/lib/ |grep php4
drwx-wx-wt   2 root     root     104 Dec 21 00:55 php4
ns:~#

You can set the same permissions on your /var/lib/php4, running as superuser,
the command:
chmod 1733 /var/lib/php4


Hope this helps
