Thus, it appears your installer does not install everything with the correct permissions by default. WebDNA was the last thing I installed, and I had installed as root, and it did not work until running set permissions.This is all on OS X Server 10.2.6. I hope this saves some others some time and that you fix your installer.KarlOn Thursday, May 15, 2003, at 12:47 PM, Karl Schroll wrote:> Le,>> I was able to fix the permissions problem using WebStar's set > permissions option.>> However, I still can't get webdna to startup automatically.
