Install problem on RHEL 5.1

[Alan Wolfe <..hidden..>]

Hello,

I am a new user installing LedgerSMB for the first time.

I am installing 1.2.10 on a server running RedHat Enterprise 5.1 with 
Postgresql 8.1.9 (built by RedHat).  I got through all the steps in the 
INSTALL document, and have not been able to resolve the error 'No 
GlobalDBH Configured or Could not Connect' when I access admin.pl via the 
browser.

I can connect to postgresql as the ledgersmb user via psql at the command 
line.  I can see three tables in the schema: session, users, and 
users_conf.  I was able to update the admin user password (using the md5 
function) in the users_conf table using psql following the instructions in 
the INSTALL document.  The parameters in the [globaldb] section of 
ledgersmb.conf appear to be correct and match what I am putting on the 
command line to connect via psql.

To get to this point, I changed the settings in the default pg_hba.conf 
file from 'ident sameuser' to 'md5', as follows:

> # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
> # local   all         all                               ident sameuser
> local   all         all                               md5
> # IPv4 local connections:
> # host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          ident sameuser
> host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

When I run './Build test' it outputs 431 lines of mostly warnings, 
followed by:

> All tests successful.
> Files=6, Tests=1401,  3 wallclock secs ( 2.05 cusr +  0.28 csys =  2.33 CPU)

According to /var/log/httpd/error_log, the process seems to die trying to 
create a Unix socket:

> Permission denied
> [Sun Dec 16 15:02:28 2007] [error] [client 209.173.97.47]  at 
> LedgerSMB/Sysconfig.pm line 129

This is the error that concerns me:

  failed: could not create socket: Permission denied

I searched the mailing list archives and also searched Google but did not 
come up with anything helpful.

It appears this could be a RedHat / SELinux permission or config issue. 
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Alan Wolfe
