Hi
Jumped in both feet!
downloaded xataface-1.3.2.tar.gz
extracted to /var/www/dataface
set permissions to www-data [33] and chmod to 777
I have existing databases in mysql on my Ubuntu server

If I run localhost/dataface, I can select a database, but that’s it! No create button. nothing else on the page

If I create a new directory (/var/www/myapp)
what settings should ./makesite take??

the instructions say:-

Code: Select all

./makesite ../FacultyOfWidgetry \             root@localhost/FacultyOfWidgetry \             h ttp://localhost/~shannah/dataface

doesn’t make sense ..
I tried

Code: Select all

./makesite ../myapp\            root@localhost/myapp\ h ttp://localhost/dataface

error - /usr/bin/env: php: No such file or directory
..and
which files should be copied FROM the original /var/www/dataface directory into /var/ww/myapp

phew!

If you’re having trouble with the makesite script, just proceed to do a manual install.
