Stuck here:--

I was just going with the flow:--

  1. ./checksetup.pl
  2. /ramdisk/bin/perl install-module.pl --all
  3. vi ./localconfig (modified db, dbuser, dbuserpass)
  4. ./checksetup.pl

and after that by script :--

  • Tables created

  • some directories, css files and atlast

    Creating ./lib/.htaccess...
Creating ./template/.htaccess... 
Creating .htaccess...
Creating contrib/.htaccess...
Creating t/.htaccess...
There is no such group: apache. Check your $webservergroup setting in
./localconfig.

Back on terminal.. What next??? I think it should ask me about administrative username and password etc

    Please dont ask for step-by-step guides. It shows that you are not willing to learn anything. And, quite honestly, we're not a support department who writes documentation. – pauska Mar 01 '11 at 11:58

The error message specifies clearly what the problem is. In your localconfig file, there is a setting for the value $webservergroup (which is the Unix group your webserver runs with the permissions of). You have it set to "apache" (which, I believe, is the default) but there is no group in the system with that name. So you need to set it to the true name of the group your webserver runs as.

I am not familiar with bluehost but another common value is "www-data". To find out, do ps aux | grep apache and look at the first column. One may be root, but the next few will be the value you want.

  • thnks.. for bluehost u need to make that entry blank.. thanks for ur help – Mohit Jain Mar 02 '11 at 09:26
  • The comment in the localconfig file warns against setting the value to "", as it can be a security risk. Some files are made world readable/writeable, and so (depending on how bluehost works - does it give out accounts, or entire VMs?) other bluehost users on the same machine may be able to change your files. – Gervase Markham Mar 02 '11 at 11:00
