Hello,
I am having a permission error occur after I installed Grasslinks and tried accessing my GRASS database through my web server. I get an error that says that grasslinks1 does not have permission to access the database. I tried to set up grasslinks1-grasslinks5 as new users on my operating system in the /etc/passwd file and then make them a part of the grass user group that has access to the database (/etc/group), but this doesn't seem like what you're supposed to do (as it mentions nothing of this in the grasslinks installation instructions- and it didn't solve the problem). All of the file/directory permissions are wide open for all files in the mapsets. If anybody has experience working with grasslinks and think you can help me, I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks,
Pete Jacobs
Hi,
Are you able to access the Grasslinks1 mapset in the GRASS command mode?
May be you should use Grass command g.mapsets to put the grasslinks1-5 in
current mapset search path and try to access each of these mapsets in
the command mode first. If you can access them in the command mode, there
should be no problem for GrassLinks to access the database.
Hope this helps
Bye

I was able to take care of the permissions problem as per your suggestion,
Mr. Raghavan. Thanks a lot.
My latest problem with installing Grasslinks, however, is that I did not
get a ppm binary driver with my Grass installation, just a preview and a
preview2 driver. I wrote out the ppm shell text file and put it in
/grass42/etc/paint/driver.sh/ppm. However, the binary driver that I'm
assuming is supposed to go in /grass42/etc/paint/driver/ppm is not there
since it didn't come with my Grass database. If anyone has a copy of this
binary driver that I could obtain via ftp or has another suggestions as to
how I can locate it, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you
Pete
