[ic] Admin frontend in german language?

[Steffen Dettmer]

Hi,

I'm new on interchange. After taking a look to latest interchange
release I set up a test system with the sources from the
developer tarbal. So far: should I better use the CVS tree for
building? I decided for the tarbal since the risk of getting some
unusable status seems lower.

On the demo I saw the admin frontend asks for the supported
language. On the local installation I don't have this button. Any
hints? 

I found some nice documentation and so far I haven't read it all,
but I haven't found some internal/technical documentation, i.e.
for the database. I use some postgreSQL (6.4 or 7.0 or so) via
DBI::Pg which worked from the first try. BTW, the installer tries
to create a database on localhost, even if I supply host=dbhost
in the DBI string. The interchange server/daemon connects
correctöy. I haven't investigated this, but it looks like a small
bug in the installer. Second, it wasn't transparent for what
actions root priviliges are required (or suggested). I was asked
to install via CPAN the Bundle::Interchange (it seems that it
gets installed without checking if needed), so I tried that as
root and it worked. I installed into /usr/local as root. After
that, I "su - user" which wasn't correct, since the makecat tool
tries to compile tlink and has no permissions to open config.log
(I guess configure fails in any circumstances since that
directory has no write permissions). The fix is simple, I chown'd
the /usr/local/interchange tree to the user any anything was
fine.

Another point: the used virtual server allows TLS only. So it's
required to use https: always. I edited catalog.cfg directly to
change the http->https. Is that correct? Or is it not a good idea
to change catalog.cfg manually?

Of course I happily accept any RTFM if the right reference is
specified. I searched the docs and archives but wasn't really
successful.

oki,

Steffen
