Thanks, I have read all that but it is no help. I do not decide where to install geneweb so I do not control access to the files. Packet manager has loaded 5 geneweb folders in a variety of locations but I guess the particular location referred to would be /usr/share/geneweb/ which contains fodlers for doc etc images land setup I have tried to add a gw folder to contain my bases but access to this area is defied.
Even when I run gwsetup in a term (cd /usr/shar/geneweb then $ gwsetup) and go to http://121.0.0.1.2316 making a new database For information, this operation corresponds to the following commands: $ cd "/usr/share/geneweb" $ ./gwc -f -o findme > comm.log This builds a directory named "findme.gwb". fails with Here is the contents of the file "comm.log": - empty file - I need to set the gwd -bd variable to point to the gw folder in my accessible home folder.
