Hi Luis,
Thanks for the heads up. It never occurred to me to look in cgi-bin
for the config files, I was looking for them in etc. Either way, I
have it working now, although for the sake of others with similar
problems, I should point out that I needed to add an extra line, and
modify your config slightly. This is what I ended up using
'base_dir' => '/usr/local/apps/tpp/',
'www_root' => '/usr/local/apps/tpp/',
'data_dir' => '/usr/local/apps/tpp/data/',
Without the 'data_dir' entry, using your config settings, I still kept
getting the "Attempt to access forbidden directory" error message, and
I noted that the directory kept getting rewritten to "/usr/lcoal/apps/
tpp/ISB/data". A little digging around in tpp_gui.pl showed up this
line
my $data_dir = readconfig('data_dir',"${www_root}ISB/
data/"); # full path to data directory top-level
which clearly defaults to adding ISB to whatever you set as www_root.
I tried adding a symlink to . in /usr/local/apps/tpp called ISB, but
petunia seems to resolve out symlinks to determine absolute paths
(presumably a security mechanism), meaning that visiting /usr/local/
apps/tpp/ISB/data got resolved to /usr/local/apps/tpp/data, which was
not in ISB as per the data_dir default. So I overrode the default in
tpp_gui_config.pl
Just a gotcha others might come across, hope this helps.
Thanks for the help,
James
