The odd thing in your case is that /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases is a directory, instead of a file. If you install GNATS under /usr/local, the GNATS binaries expect to find the file /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases which contains a list of database entries. At a minimum, this file should contain a single entry for the 'default' database which is mandatory. I'm not sure why you have a directory named /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases. Perhaps this is something from a previous install of GNATS? In any case, if you wish to have your GNATS server installed under /usr/local, you'll need to move the /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases directory aside, and replace it with a file, containing something like: default:Bug database:/usr/local/com/gnatsdb. Alternatively, you can use the '--with-gnats-dblist-file' configure option to specify a different location for your databases file. -- Mel Hatzis > > What do I do now ?? > > > > > > > Confidentiality Notice > > The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended > for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
