Ok, I've gottent the apache with mod_perl operational and all is good on the
web server front.

I decided earlier to re-install manually the eprints software. I'm to the
point where I need to 
run scripts that update/create the database, specificaly the cron tab
scripts but really none of the scripts will work.

I just get somehting like:

[root AT trs]296[/usr/local/apache/eprints/bin]# ./subs_daily 
DBI->connect(database=eprints) failed: Access denied for user:
'eprints AT localhost' (Using password: YES) at
/usr/local/apache/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/Database.pm line 134
TRS has encountered an error:

Failed to connect to database

Can't call method "retrieve_fields" on an undefined value at
/usr/local/apache/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/Subscription.pm line 338.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to change the username the scripts are using to "nobody" ↵
but I
can't figure out how, except a direct hack on the Database.pm file, and I've
tried, nobody can't connect either.   $EPrintSite::SiteInfo::username is set
to "nobody" but still it tries to connect as eprints.

I know the grants and users are set up right because I can connect as nobody
or eprints from the command line.


Basically if I get through this database problem that should be the last
hurdle to clear as that is the only thing holding back a completed
installation at this point.

Any help would be appreciated?

-Mark

Did you set the username to connect as in the config file (AND HUP/RESTART
APACHE?) It sounds like the username you're using is still eprints (hence)
eprints AT localhost. 

Did you create a DB call "eprints" by hand?

Did you run the create_database script which builds all the SQL tables?
