<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">OME team-<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"><DIV>I installed OME successfully yesterday onto a mac 10.4.7. The OME installer created a folder in my Startup items folder to start the PostgreSQL database each time I start my computer. But the OS won't run anything in that folder unless the owner/group & permissions are correct (owner must be root, group wheel and permissions 0755). Somehow the PostgreSQL folder that was created had its permissions set to: "drwxrwxr-x" when it was made by the installer (both files within that folder were set to the corrrect permissions 0755). The upshot was that after installation, the database was fine and I could import images. Upon restart, PostgreSQL refused to start-due to OS X restriction on startup items. I changed the permissions on that folder and now everything seems fine. Images import, spots are identified and tracked, but I wanted to make sure that I haven't screwed things up from some other angle as permissions can be tricky sometimes.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"><DIV>Thanks for your help</DIV><DIV>Steve</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Dr. Stephen Ogg</DIV><DIV>61 Biopolis Drive (Proteos)</DIV><DIV>Singapore 138673</DIV><DIV>+65 65869844 office</DIV><DIV>+65 65869841lab</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:stephen@cmm.a-star.edu.sg">stephen@cmm.a-star.edu.sg</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
