Procedures and Examples

It is imperative that the database be accessible by both gw and your Web server. Installation will make gw setuid to your Web server's user id if you provided the correct one. If it is not you must ensure that you run gw as the same user id as your Web server or that you make gw setuid to that user. That may be accomplished with the following commands, assuming that your Web server's user is www:

   chown www gw
   chmod u+s gw

The above commands will have to be run as the root user on most systems.
