[ome-users] Installation problems - postgres

[Matthias Pigerl]

Hi!

First of all I want to thank all developers of OME. I still think it is 
a powerful project, I would like to try it. But after one day of 
installing problems I'm not far away to give it up.
Unfortunately I'm not used to work with Perl and postgresSQL (but I 
develop with Java Server Side, PHP5, mySQL and Oracale,
so I thought at the beginning, it shouldn't be too dificult for me to 
install OME - but it is!)

Ok - let's tell you my Odyssey. :-)
It wanted to setup a new machine with Fedora 4 (because this is the 
recommendation at OME homepage). But I always got during installation I 
always got errors at Fedore CD (I downloaded iso images again - same 
error). I tried to install it with FTP - no success.

So installed Ubuntu - better :-)
I installed all required packages for OME and started install.pl - got 
problems with perl and the compiler  - 2 hours of playing with perl 
versions and C compilers. Finally it works. :-) more or less until 
install.pl reached apache configuration part. Big problems of calling 
mod_perl. I changed PerlInitHandler Apache::... to PerlInitHandler 
Apache2::... inside /OME/conf. Finally it works. (OK I'm sure here is 
the fault also at the Ubuntu - perl configuration.)

And now next problem postgreSQL. I use postgreSQL 8. It started with 
Ident Authentification erros. So I decided to create manually the user 
"ome" "www-data" and the database "ome" - And now I got the error 
"Modifying user privileges is not supported"  when I  run install.pl . 
Inside "CoreDatabaseTablesTask.log" is nothing interesting. Only one 
line "Creating OME PostgreSQL superuser (ome) " and nothing more.

Does anyone have an idea? What should I do?
Have a nive day :-)
Cu Matthias
