Fellow Managers:
My e-mail address is miles_at_hood.edu
I am running two machines. Machine A is Tru64 v4.0f, and Machine B is Tru64
v5.1. I am using Machine B to test upgrades to the operating system and
webserver software before I roll it out on Machine A. To do this, I created
a nfs share of my /http folder to run the webserver on Machine B without
moving the /http folder and causing version control issues with my users
uploading new pages to the wrong place, etc.
I have set this up to export in rw mode, and the mount in fstab indicates
that it is mounted in rw mode. I can see the mount on Machine B, and in
fact the webserver is up and running, but for some reason I cannot write to
the /http mount on Machine B. I can write to the directory on Machine A
just fine. This is causing Perl scripts on the webserver that must write to
the folder to fail, and I need to repair it before I can continue this
trial.
One last comment. The /http directory on Machine A is assigned to a user
and group that does not exist on Machine B. I thought that I would at least
be able to write to /http on Machine B as root, even though the directory
and files belong to a non-existant user. Is this my problem? If so, do I
have to re-create the user on Machine B with exactly the same UID and GID as
Machine A's user, or will having the same username be sufficient? If that
is not the problem, does anyone have an idea what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.
