Hi, I hope the questions didn't mislead you. What the questions meant was the Apache (or Web) server should be run by user 'base' (as instructed in BASE docs) which should have the same UID/GID as on your prod server. Your original config.inc.php has the correct "userName" and "dbUser" to be 'base'. They DO NOT need to change. Surely it should have the "dbPassword" which should be the same as on your prod server (Please don't include the password in your future email though).
1. Apache Web configuration to make sure it will be run by user 'base' 2. MySQL should grant all rights to the user 'base' to the databases 'base' and 'basedynamic' 3. Stop BASE, Apache, and MySQL, and then start them in a reverse order. I would suggest you seek some help from your site system administrators if you need help for server configurations. Good luck.

Is the UID same as on the prod server? Sorry, but what do you mean as to 'all rights to base databases'? Where can I check/set Apache's rights?? Here's a snippet of my BASE config.inc.php $config["userName"] = "apache"; $config["RDBMS"] = "mysql"; $config["dbHost"] = "localhost"; // Changed by MAF Sept 2005 // $config["dbUser"] = "base"; $config["dbUser"] = "apache"; $config["dbPassword"] = ""; $config["dbDatabase"] = "base"; $config["dbDynamic"] = "basedynamic"; Thanks for your efforts.
