Sorry about any continuing problems.  If you give me details, I can 
help you off-list.

The released installer doesn't check if the Apache process can access 
the Data Directory you specified.  The current installer does a check 
for this and warns you if Apache can't read the specified directory.
If you opted out of making cbonnard a unix admin for OME, then the 
installer didn't add cbonnard to the ome group.  You can change the 
group ownership of everything in /home/cbonnard to 'ome' and add 
cbonnard to the ome group, or you can give global read permissions to 
/home/cbonnard.  Or, you can put your images in a separate directory 
altogether (and use that as your Data Directory) with a symbolic link 
to it from a directory in your home folder.

This needs documentation.  There are scripts in the release (in 
src/SQL) called addOMEuser.pl and addOMEgroup.pl.

Unfortunately, no.  Administration stuff is currently done on the 
command-line.  We haven't had time (or resources) to build admin 
interfaces.  We're ever hopeful that someone will build such things for 
all to benefit.  Maybe even sell them.  We would gladly buy them!
