[ome-users] Configuration Guide for mod_python (production) (fwd)

[Bernie Broughton]

Thanks Paulo,

now I realise apache_user apache_group can be different depending on the
distribution. I'm using Centos 5.3 and yes it's apache:apache.

I've also realise that:

DATABASE_NAME = '/home/omero/webdb/db.sqlite3'

is correct, it's pointing to the database directory that's about to be
created.

However:

sudo -u apache PYTHONPATH=/home/omero/omero_dist/lib/python/ python
manage.py syncdb

doesn't work

Should I be running it as root (suspect not), as omero (possibly), but then
I get asked for a password, which is incorrect and I get reported! In fact
should the database be running at this point? Has apache got I password?
How an I supposed to know what it is?

Pleased to have got this far nevertheless,

Bernie
