Re: RefDB web page..

Markus,

there were 2 problems.
First of course the incorect paths is refdb-init. This is debian package probem.

The second one was my problem. The libdbi-mysql was not installed. But
refdbd exist without any message. I thin this is the basic message
wchich should be printed and not only after manual execution with some
-l and -L options.

Fixing this the refdb-init finished. Except:

===
Create refdb as reference database
209:refdb
999:0 created:1 failed

===
Grant refdb access to the reference database refdb
236
237:refdb@localhost:refdb
999:1 added:0 failed

===


so, still investigating what went wrong.
