RE: Tips about setting-up intermezzo...

Hello,

It seems that you have a problem with rights and file ownership.
Check this :
- Do you have a user named intermezzo, member of an intermezzo group ?
- Did the intersync daemon and his spawened apache belong to this user ?
- the "/export" and "/var/intermezzo-0" directories are readeable by
this user ?

In your point number 6 : it's a normal behavior.intermezzo partition
becomes read only when the intersync daemon is shutted down

Number 7 : This is a bug, resolved in the CVS version (and in the latest
release, I think. Chen ? )

And finally : no, there is no need for the "FollowSymlinks" option in
httpd.conf, because it is a default.

I personnaly use Intermezzo for my "virtual" home directory.
A server at home and 2 laptops as clients, and it works .. almost.

In the future, I wish to use Intermezzo for a little web farm, but for
this purpose there is a key feature missing : automatic conflict
management.

Have a good day.

> So far I've compiled and installed intersync-0.9.5-3 with no problems.

> So far, I'm following Linux Planet's article (the one mentioned on
> "News" section at the web site) as it seems the most up-to-date piece of
> docs I've seen (09/10/2002).

> My next step is setting up the server. I already have a separate
