About the order you install stuff. If you're using default package that comes with FC5, everything should work correctly as it worked for me. I am using Fedora Core 5 and I installed Apache, PHP5 and PostgreSQL during installation with default modules. Then once installation finished I installed additional php modules like mbstring, etc. Once all of this finished, i followed the instruction on the wifidog website.
<br><br>About the unable to connect issue. I had that when I was testing. Fedora uses SELinux (Security Enhanced linux). It creates security policies that enables you to run your computer more securely according to guidelines set by NSA but in my experience, it's pain the ass. But fortunately there is way to modify policy to meet your need. If you're using purly command prompt, you might want to refer to fedora website and look at their documentation on configuring SElinux. If you're running Xwindows, then su to root and execute "system-config-securitylevel" without quotes and go to SELinux tab, click on modify SELinux Policy. Under HTTPD service, check box the "Allow HTTPD scripts and modules to connect to network" policy. Save settings and restart your apache httpd service and run
install.php again. Make sure that the wifidog user and password is correct when you enter it to connect to database and make sure the postgresql service is running. I hope this helps. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<div><div>Thanks guys I finally got this to work PHP5, Fedora, Apache2.0, PostgresSQL.. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I get error message unable to connect to the database, Looks like there is configuration and permision issue.. </div>
<div>I created a user wifidog like the install.php directed. I also created the database wifidog,</div>
<div>The linux user is not wifidog so the problem is there it is unable to connect. Any anybody help with permission issue</div>
<div>so I can pull up the index.php file.</div>

<div>Hello Guys, I spend 12 hours yesterday with a Linux C programmer who told me he does not know much about linux administration. To install PHP5.1.4, PostgresSQL and Apache Server. With all the sub components like mbstring, Php/dom, Php-xml, I first we install the
PHP5.1.4 . We followed the instruction to the letter. And found lot of information missing. Small small stuff. Obivious person who wrote the document did not write the document while installing the PHP. </div>
<div>Then there are so many different flavors of linux, Fedora, SeLinux, freeBSD(non-linux may be) Just to mention a few. Then we have PostresSQL that ill not run the database if you are login as Linux Root. So there are user issues and owner issues,
</div>
<div><br>It seems to me that no Linux guy wishes to write a proper document because if they do the so called "fun" of Linux setup and installation will dis-appear there will not be enough frustration left for people to get the Pheroric feeling when the get the stuff to work.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The <a href="http://localhost.localdomain/wifidogpath/install.php" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://localhost.localdomain/wifidogpath/install.php</a> helps a little in letting us know what is working and what is not working. as far as the install process goes . But it does not help us on installing the stuff correctly.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I try to make VNC to work on Fedora there is a well know font problem related to path. I fixed it by copying the /xserver and the /X11 directory to the location the Xvnc program looks to find it. So Now I have two copies all the same stuff in two different location My programmer very knowledgable in Linux programming and Shell Scripting.. Runs all the makefile stuff. And now the Apache server stops working after reboot.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please somebody tell me what order one should follow for installing Authentication Server on Fedora Core 5 that would be greatly apprecaited.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is my advice from Experience.</div>
<div>Do Not install the PostgresSQL server that cames with Fedore Core 5(Add new software) It does not have all the files that PHP needs to complete the installation. Same with Apache do not Install the Apache Server 2.0
that comes with Fedora Core 5.. Just install the basic Productivity Package and then Download PHP5.1.4, Apache 8.1.4 and PostgresSQL 8.0 and follow the installation instruction. <br><br>The BIG QUESTION IS in WHAT ORDER
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
