I'm trying to get HN installed and working on my Indigo2
running IRIX 5.3. I untar'ed the distribution (1.9B3.1),
configured HN via the system-setup.pl script (after
twiddling create_hnrc_gbl.pl to not print stuff to STDERR,
'cause I didn't get legal HTML code generated by it with
the STDERR lines inserted at random), and then tried
creating a base article with edit-article.pl. No matter
what I try, I end up with some kind of access permission
problem, either when running this script, or when
add-article.pl is run by submitting the form edit-article.pl
generates. With the default kind of permissions set up,
the problem I get looks like the following:
Error in HyperNews 1.9B3.1
User authentication failed.
User Affected:
Command User, , has incorrect access permission for this command. User has incorrect access
permissions for this script
If you need help, contact: rhodes@sgi.com
Looking at edit-article.pl, it seems to expect REMOTE_USER
to be set to my email address, which it isn't, but I'm not
sure why it expects this to be true or how it is true for
others.
If I change the security parameters to allow anyone to add
a base article, edit-article.pl now generates a page of
legitimate html with a form, but when I submit the form
and run add-article.pl as a result, I get an access
permission error at this point.
Any ideas??
