Not as many as I'd thought :-(
I've been making a bit of a dogs breakfast of it so far -no more though :)
Anyway;
It won't start, wrong UID/GID in spool
WWWoffle 'messages' aren't served, 'search' doesn't work.
> What files have the wrong permissions?
Just to run as root:root
Docs in spool/wwwoffle/html and below wrong perms - must be world readable.
Docs in spool/wwwoffle/html/messages work OK even though rw owner only???
If run-uid/run-gid are set then there's those to change too - I'll try your
suggestion of doing make-install as the final user that WWWoffle will run
as - thanks.
Not very exiting I realize :) - I just thought they may as well be set to
the required permissions/owner by 'make install'?
Regards and many thanks
