William,

This one tripped me up too. The FAQ has a pointer:

http://bricolage.cc/docs/Bric/
FAQ.html#why%20does%20make%20install%20exit%20with%20the%20following%20e
rror

I wonder if 'make install' should be made to stat inst/bricolage.sql
and prompt the user to run 'make dist'?

Well, I didn't think I was getting the CVS version. I went to the
homepage and to Download and grabbed 1.5.0. Perhaps the latest packaged
version did not get properly prepared for distribution.

That would be more helpful than what happened!


Thanks,

Hi David,

I'm not sure I understand why the install failed since
inst/bricolage.sql exists. I'd be glad to offer a patch if I knew why
the process failed to locate the file that was obviously there and
understood more about makefiles.

Thanks,
William

Yeah, I meant that more for Scott. I'm not sure why it failed for you,
either. I've never seen that before except when the sources were
checked out of CVS. I'll be interested to hear what you discover.

Regards,

David

Hi David,

Did you get my reply from yesterday? I do not have a conf/httpd.con file
(although there is a conf/httpd.conf file). In the httpd.conf file,
there is no APACHE_BIN line. I'm installing onto a Debian 3.0 server.

Thanks,
William

Thanks for the feedback Dave. However, I'm not sure I understand how
that would help. I'm running as root and the owner/group of all these
files is my username, 'william'. It has rwx on the inst/ directory and
rw on all the files in inst/. It seems to me like those permissions are
sufficient. Granted I'm still migrating from a Windows background to a
Unix one so may simply be confused about these matters.

I guess the other possibility is that Bricolage does a suid to another
user while installing. Can anyone more familiar with the install routine
comment on this? I'd really like to get Bricolage up and running!

At any rate, I'm going to take David's advice and change those
permissions then run make install again. I'll report back if anything
changes.

Thanks,
William

I cant check right now but from what I remember I chowned those apache and chmoded 755 and that seemed to do the trick. I was also installing as root. also the APACHE_BIN line you were looking for is in /usr/local/bricolage/bricolage.conf

It's possible that the code in question is running as the user
postgres, so this is worth trying, William. Let me know if it works.

The 1.6.0 installation should no longer be changing to the postgres
user, so if this is, the problem, it should go away in the next relase.

Regards,

David

Hi Dave,

Thanks for continuing to offer your feedback. I tried your suggested
permissions changes (substituting my apache username) and performed the
following actions:
make clean
make
make install

Can someone tell me whether it is necessary to do the make process after
doing a make clean? It'd be nice to skip having to retype all of that
configuration stuff.

Anyhow, still no joy with installing Bricolage. I continue to receive
the error message that inst/bricolage.sql is empty or missing. Although,
when I checked the file yesterday, there were sql commands in it, I
decided to check that file again today and this time it indeed was
empty! What would cause bricolage.sql to be empty?

I'm going to get a fresh copy of the source file, apply your suggestions
for changing privilege and reinstall. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,
William

At last, getting a fresh copy of 1.5.0 source and changing the
permissions on the inst/* directory and files to my apache user (www)
using 755 worked.

From what you said, I suspect that it was changing the permissions to
755 more than changing the owner of the file. As I recall, the original
permissions were 600 which would not have let the postgres user access
them. However, I just opened the latest source that I downloaded today
and it is setting the permissions to 644. I dunno how mine got changed!

That's good.

So now, onto the fun stuff. I got Bricolage running and logged in as the
admin as described by the install process. I then went to try to change
the password of the admin as suggested. However, I don't see any way to
do it via the interface which is what I would have expected given the
install instructions. Am I missing something or does the password have
to be set some other way?


Thanks,
William

ADMIN -> Users.
click "Search"
Click "Edit" next to the admin user
Change the password.

HTH,

That did it. When I went to the Users section the first time, I didn't
realize that I had to do a search. I'm reading the Appendix you wrote
for the Mason book which is proving to be helpful. Hopefully, I'll learn
how to setup Bricolage somewhere other than my main site. I'd prefer to
have it load when I go to bricolage.knowmad.com. My guess is that I need
to adjust my Apache httpd.conf settings.

Thanks again,
William
