Dear Brian, Chirs and Paulo,
Finally I was able to establish the connection. This morning Chris Allan
suggest me to check the files permission, and I discover that all the
files installed by Omero Installer where owned by the sudo user (that's
why i maybe suggest to take off this option in the installer), and for a
unknown reason OMERO.insight works perfectly with this kind of
permission, but OMERO.importer don't. To put all this working, my task
was very simple, i've just change the owner:group and permission of all
OMERO.importer.app
There is the inputs:
ON LEOPARD
moscardo-2:OMERO.beta2.3 umo$ sudo chown -R nobody:everyone
OMERO.importer.app/
moscardo-2:OMERO.beta2.3 umo$ sudo chmod -R 775 OMERO.importer.app
ON TIGER
melga:/Applications/OMERO.beta2.3 marcoantunes$ sudo chmod -R 775
OMERO.importer.app/
melga:/Applications/OMERO.beta2.3 marcoantunes$ sudo chown -R
nobody:nobody OMERO.importer.app/
Note that "nobody" group seems not exist on Leopard I had to put
"everyone" in order to work.
I would like to suggest to include this note in the OMERO wiki, because
I think this issue may affect other Mac Users. Anyway, this week I've
receive Brian and Paulo feedbacks saying that they're able to connect to
OMERO.server in a regular account with no kind of modifications of
hacks. For that reason, my issue may be resolved but the problem
continue to be unknown. The question is: why did this happen on
differents Macs here at IMM, and why at IGC and Dundee not.
My best regards to all.
And congratulations for this project. If you guys need some help, you
can count on me.
