Hi!

I emerged quasar accounting package V 1.4.5 with postgresql-8.0.1-r3 using ebuild in bug #83679.

I can start quasar_setup, testing of database is OK as well as creating new company.

However after running quasar client I get:
Code:

Error: File type is invalid: companies
Failed getting list of companies


The same when I try:

Code:

gaura-nitai gour # telnet localhost 3599
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to gaura-nitai.dyndns.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
resources companies
error: {File type is invalid: companies}


By looking in Quasar mailing list archives, I saw similar problems caused by wrong perms.

Since Gentoo ebuild, afaik, put things in non-standard location, I am looking for a hint from some user using Gentoo ebuild, before trying in Quasar's forums.

Anyone runs quasar-1.4.5 on amd64 with Postgresql-8.x :?:

Sincerely,
Gour

The problem is solved and it can maybe help someone...

I picked the 'quasar' script which is installed in /etc/init.d but it invokes 'quasard' with the parameter suited for some older version of Quasar when the daemon was supposed to run under different uid, ie. the script invokes daemon as:

Code:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid quasar \
...


So, removing

Code:

--chuid quasar


solved the problem :lol:


Sincerely,
Gour
