Comment 5 for bug 877466

Still no joy.

I made the directory /usr/share/geneweb r/w access to everyone. All sub files/foldesr likewise.
I found a file /etc/group and the last entry is geneweb:x:1001
so I added myself to be - geneweb:x:1001:david
I checked the umask -
david@david-Inspiron-1750:/var/lib/geneweb$ umask
0002
There is no base.gwb nor *'lck flies created anywhere on my system by geneweb.

The gwd daemon is launched automatically so that http:// localhost:2317 displays in the browser but cannot find any databases.
Running gwsetup in term cd /usr/share/geneweb initiated setup so that localhost:2326 opens the setup menu but the command to create a directory still fails/
