[ic] OS X Install
Help!!
I have been unable to get Interchange to run properly on Mac OS X. I
believe my problem to be associated with the "interch" user creation.
I have attempted installs creating the user both with the System
Preferences:Users tool and a manual user creation using the NetInfo
Manager (I would prefer this manner.)
In NetInfo I gave the User the following properties:
realname Interchange
uid 72
gid 70
passwd *
shell /dev/null
expire 0
home /usr/local/interchange
change 0
name interch
I have successfully installed a Mysql database (which functions
flawlessly with perl cgi's and php scripts that I have tried). I
have also installed the DBD and DBI, thanks to wonderful posts by
Leonel Silva.
I can su -m interch (-m flag needed since the specified shell is
null) run /bin/interchange. The server starts, populates the tables
in mysql (on first run) and reports that the Interchange server has
started.
However, when I try to enter the store from
http://localhost/construct I receive a permission denied error (403)
from Apache. If I chmod -R 755 a bunch of permissions in the catalog
directory and the CGI directory, I can get the construct cgi to
attempt to communicate with the server, at which time I am told the
server is unavailable. Process Viewer and the top command indicated
it is running normally. ( I assume normal is for the name to read as
perl?)
I was successful with one install when the user was created with the
Users control panel, but the server would only run when I was logged
in to the "interch" desktop. I could not log in under my own account
and start the server from a terminal window. What is more, I would
like to create a startup item so Interchange runs when no one is
logged in, so I can ssh from work and develop from there.
I am running a PowerMac G4 Sawtooth with 576 Meg of ram and OS X.0.3.
I have the default Apache install, Perl 5.6.0 for Darwin, and Mysql
3.23.38. The only thing I have added to Apache at this time is PHP 4
support.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
