I am an inexperienced linux user and sometimes get floored by permissions. Last week my system got corrupted and on the advice of my supplier I reinstalled (Suse 9) Linux having first backed up all data onto CD. I reinstalled Koha by using the instaler but with the version of the tables saved using mysqldump substituted for the original. I then substituted the version of the main Koha files saved on disc for those in /ust/local. Everything works fine save for one thing. The files saved to CD had, I think, different permissions to those given to them by the installer. This applies in particular to the z* daemon. I have changed the permissions of those files to wwwrun and www (user and group used by Apache2). The daemon is running and when I log into Koha from the admin a/c (which is set not to requre a pw) from the machine on which Koha runs but from my main user a/c I can get biblios completed via the remote servers. That a/c is a member of the www group. When however I run Koha admin from a remote machine the daemon does not work, ie I constantly get ??? pages. Is this a permision problem and if so what should I run the daemon as? Should all the z* files and the directory they are in have the same permissions?
