Sorry, the notes are as clear as they can be, but they can't intend to be a course about Unix system administration.
Sopy, copy/paste mode: Users who want to share databases in the main directory (/var/lib/geneweb) have to be members of the geneweb group (just like the geneweb user is). All files and directories there should be writable by the owning user AND the geneweb group. This means that you should use 002 as umask when writing to this directory. Users with the more common 022 umask must then temporarily change it before creating files, or need to adapt directories and files permissions in /var/lib/geneweb after adding a database. This inludes files in the base.gwb directory as well as files created by the daemon during its work (such as "history" of .lck files...) should be writable by both the database owner (for allowing him for manually make modifications from the shell) and the geneweb group. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877466 Title: Geneweb on Ununtu 11-10 cannot find databases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geneweb/+bug/877466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
