texte = In order to install WebCatalog or any software that modifies a system file (in Un*x) you have to be root. WebCatalog does not require root access to run and runs as the nobody user.Smith Micro only supports the installation of WebCatalog under RedHat. Primarily until the Linux Standards Base gets every thing together (and the distro) it is hard to support all the major versions (SUSE, Turbo, Caldera, Mandrake, Corel, Slackware, Debian etc.) of Linux. Although we do have a non RPM script install that would allow the installation on any distribution. Plus detailed instructions on what is modified and the modification in the installer.You have a technical issue, post the technical issue to this list. What is the configuration of the computer? RedHat version? Has Apache been modified? How is your ISP trying to install WebCatalog? Is this a standard RedHat install? What changes has your ISP made?Until you do this nobody on this list can help you with your problems.One of the ideas behind this list is that if you have a question/problem about WebCatalog/WebDNA then you have an avenue to seek outside help. I think the list is really neat, this community of people try to help each other with their problems.James Howarth Network Administrator Smith Micro Software Inc. http://www.smithmicro.com/isd-----Original Message----- From: M.B.
