I have been toying with this problem for days, actually weeks and wanted to share. On two different PogoPlugPros, I have installed the tarball, installed Udev-oxas(sp) and then attempted to install apache or mysql.
On both boxes, on each application, the created user (http/mysql) is unable to read from its home folder. I have yet to get mysql running correctly (swap enabled via sataHD), without running '--user=root' and apache needs all of it's permissions changed.
I do like to think I know what im doing and my boss, who is a unix master, even said, "something is fubar in the underbelly". Has anyone had any of the same experiences or has any advice? Thanks.
