Re: [Phpgroupware-users] (no subject)

[Daniel L. Miller]

First of all, much thanx to everyone for the quick response.  It is 
deeply appreciated - and I'll probably rely on you guys quite a bit in 
the near future.

I am investigating downloading the tarball and compiling/installing 
myself - but I much prefer staying within the Debian package system - I 
have "fewer" (NOT none) problems that way.

Since I'm running apache 1.3 with the default Debian setup, the apache 
processes run as "www-data".  Naturally, all the phpgroupware 
directories are owned by "root".

I first visited /usr/share/phpgroupware, and chown'ed everything to 
www-data.  That wasn't enough.  Doing the same to 
/var/lib/phpgroupware/sesions did the magic trick.

Much gratitude - this is probably a good entry for a FAQ or FEE 
(Frequently Encountered Errors) document.  I'll also see if the Debian 
group can put this into the Debian package.
