That usually happens when the --prefix parameter is provided to ./configure, but --localstatedir is missing. The default system-wide installation should be performed with: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var and, in the case of MacOS X, the following parameters would be a good addition as well: --with-wwwroot=/Library/WebServer/Documents --with-wwwuser=www --with-wwwgroup=www -- Octality http://www.octality.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
