http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=417 Summary: installer.pl wants root Product: Koha Version: 1.9.2 Platform: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Installation AssignedTo: tonnesen@cmsd.bc.ca ReportedBy: mjr@ttllp.co.uk QAContact: koha-devel@lists.sourceforge.net If run as a normal user, the following error occurs:- $ perl installer.pl Install::mkdir_parents() called too early to check prototype at Install.pm line 397. You must be root to run this script. It does not give any reasons why it wants to run as root. I'm not sure why it wants root from a quick look at the code of installer.pl. It is probably a bad security idea to run the whole process as root instead of su or sudo'ing for selected parts. Is a userland installation of koha is possible? Are there any instructions on that? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
