I am in the half way of installation. I have done everything exactly so far according to 'INSTALL' file instructions however would anybody tell me please what exactly do I need to do in the following step?: 8. configure your web server + be sure that $datadir is writable by the www user (or whatever uid your web server runs as) I mean which URL I need to access to configure the same?

I don't think I have ever made the entire Argus data directory writable by Apache but others may have more input. The Apache error log will give you all the insight you need into any issues you may encounter.

This is a very restricted box so I honestly don't worry about running it as root. This box is running CentOS 5.8 x86_64. Argus lives in /var/argus and arguscgi lives in the main Apache cgi-bin. I put these in my httpd.conf but I don't remember if the installer created the www directory or not: Alias /img/ /var/argus/www/img/ Alias /sound/ /var/argus/www/sound/ Alias /css/ /var/argus/www/css/ Alias /js/ /var/argus/www/js/ Permisions of /var/argus: drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 4096 Oct 31 16:38 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jan 20 2012 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 12288 Nov 1 18:34 auth drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 2011 config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2982 Apr 11 2011 config.example srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 31 16:38 control drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep 29 03:59 gcache drwxrwxrwx 28 root root 4096 Apr 11 2011 gdata drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Apr 11 2011 html drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 11 2011 locale -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8121 Oct 31 16:38 log drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 31 16:39 notify -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Oct 31 16:39 notno drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Apr 11 2011 perl drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Apr 11 2011 stats -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 106 Apr 12 2011 users -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144 Apr 11 2011 users.example drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 12 2011 www Hope that helps, Scott On 21.11.2012 14:25, mustafa wrote: > Gdata you mean to say what argus refers to as data directory?
