I have found similar problems too.
The only way I could manage Rivendell to work properly is doing
everything as unix user. If I login in Linux as 'alessio' rd.conf must
be set as 'alessio', /var/snd must belong to 'alessio' and so on...
That's the only way I found...
I tried several Linux distros in VMachine. I can always compile
everything smoothly.
Then like super user I always do more or less like this:
- make install
- groupadd rivendell
- useradd rduser -G audio,rivendell
- mkdir /var/snd
- chown rduser:rivendell
- chmod 775 /var/snd
- cp /.../rd.conf-sample /etc/rd.conf
- edit "AudioOwner=rduser"
- cp /../rd-bin.conf /etc/apache../conf.d/
- logout and login
Doesn't work... You can navigate RDAdmin and everything but you can't
import/export... any idea? The only way I found is using everything in
the same Linux user I log in.
