Subject: [Gss-users] New User Intro

Greetings All,

I have installed Gss as per Marcel's article in LJ and taken the time to read most of the archives
and READMEs relating to DBI/DBD etc.  I admit to being pretty green though I have usually had
success in seeing the errors in my ways with Linux.  My head is spinning from getting through to the
final stages of installing Gss and when I launch my browser I find that it does not work properly.

The admin page displays with the images when accessed from a Win2K box but the images are broken
when viewed from Konqueror on the Apache Server.  Additionally it seems that most of the links are
broken or not invoking the proper scripts (which do execute when keyed in a terminal).  I thought it
to be a path issue or something but have had no luck here.

I am running RedHat7.1 and using the latest installers of all packages PostgreSQL, DBD,DBI and Gss
with Perl5.6.0 (all executables should be in the right place). The apache home directories seem to
be /var/www/cgi-bin .../html etc... but I am seeing stuff about unknown user 'www' in the install
messages of Gss.

I was also confused about the way Gss asked about the creation of the two users Root and Nobody
(which I had already created when initialising pgsql) which failed.

Virtually none of the links work on the Linux Server but Help and some of the other links like All
the Docs and What's New do work from the Win2K box.

Very sorry to be stumped in what must be a very newbie kind of way but if anybody can help - I would
appreciate it.

Humbly
