RE: [seul-edu] [Fwd: Re: Question about Bessie]
Further to my email a couple of weeks ago mentioning that I would
try to evaluate bessie, I have to report that I've been unable to
get bessie to run on my Debian/testing box.
I did an "apt-get install php4 apache mysql-server" and then followed
the instructions in the bessie/INSTALL document, but couldn't get it to
authenticate against the DB. If anyone has any gotchas to report with
bessie, do let me know - I'd really like to take a look at this program!
Cheers,
jc
