its been a while for me, running this on os x, but If I remember correctly, running as witango -u is a good temporary workaround, but not a good permanent fix. I don't remember all the reasons, but I do remember that witango runs the way it does, from the SystemStarter, to be more secure.

Anyway, I would double check on that, sorry I can't remember all the reasons why. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Thanks for the help from you and from Witango customer support. I appreciate it, as the Witango server is now running.

Here's the round up so far.

1] The installer fails to run the postinstaller script

This means that all the stuff that needs to be set up like the Startup and various other file edits does not happen. I figured that out by myself, BUT had not been unable to manually reconstruct this sufficiently to make the server run.

That is, I copied over the Startup items directory, checked permissions on it, etc. Tried it with and without changing /etc/ hostconfig by adding WITANGO=-YES-
no joy

What worked was this advice from the Witango customer support folks

In the terminal, cd to the directory containing witangod
run this command
 ./witangod -uo

I also found out that you need to start things in the following sequence

Witangod
Apache2

or else I got a clients.ini error

SystemStarter will also work with

WITANGO55=-NO-

Witango just won't start at boot. If this server is a dev machine, I usually leave it at NO, and only start when I need. If a server, def make it YES.

For SystemStarter to work you need to have the Witango_5.5 in / Library/StartupItems and the /etc/hostconfig needs to have WITANGO55=-YES- in it. You can then use the following system starter commands
