RE: Tips about setting-up intermezzo...

Well, well, 

It seems that finally I found the problem out.
It was, as Renaud said, an ownership problem.

What I did for getting it to work was:

1) chown intermezzo.intermezzo /dev/intermezzo

2) run intersync at both client and server side, correcting the problems
as they poped up.

- on the server:
# intersync /export
fails because my apache config and modules.
I just edit /var/intermezzo-0/intersync-httpd.conf and correct the
Apache modules staff.
By default /var/intermezzo-0 is owned by root.root. I change permissions
as Renaud indicated:
# chown -R intermezzo.intermezzo /var/intermezzo-0
(is this really necessary?? If so, why intersync when generating
automatically this files don't change ownerships??)
Restar the intersync daemon again, this time successfully:
# intersync /export

- on the client:
# intersync --server=the_other_side_IP /export
fails (as on the server) because of my Apache module config.
Correct the problem and I fire-up intersync again.
Before re-starting intersync, I (just in case) change ownerships to
/var/intermezzo-0 to intermezzo user and intermezzo group.
Then:
# intersync --server=the_other_side_IP /export
Fails again. Investigating on the SERVER side it seems that cannot
access CGIs on /usr/lib/intermezzo (by default owned by root.root). I
do:
# chown -R intermezzo.intermezzo /usr/lib/intermezzo
on both client and server.
I restart intersync at server side.
I restart intersync at client side.

Finally, it seems to connect successfully and work! I've just copied a
couple of files back and forth and seems to work.

I just had to run intersync with the "--debug 1" switch and also using
"strace intersync" to find out all the problems and errors.
Intersync by default simply didn't spit out informational enough
messages.

Now that I get it to work, I'll test my setup thoroughly during the next
days, for testing on stability, reliability and performance.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Just one thought: if intersync is so tricky about ownerships, why the
installation process of the intersync package doesn't take care of
setting the correct ownerships, at least for /usr/lib/intermezzo??
That way everything should much more easier for everybody, specially
first-time tryers as me! :)


Thanks to Renaud and Chen for the help!
