Can't enable packages in Interface Manager

Post by ldc »

Hello, I have been installing WebMO on a few different machines running MacOS with varying degrees of success. On my home machine, it worked completely, I was able to use it to run a few Gaussian calculations on benzene and some other small molecules. However, on my work machines, I cannot even enable the different packages under Interface Manager. When I click on the key icon it just refreshes the page without doing anything. Has anyone had this issue before and would you happen to know how to resolve it? Thank you very much.

This sounds like a permission issue, with WebMO not being able to write to the appropriate locations on disk. Please run the diagnostic script (diagnose.pl) which is included with the installation files. If you email the resulting output to support@webmo.net, we can take a look.

Hi there, I just ran the installation at work today and it worked just fine. I think before I carried out separate steps of the installation in two different Terminal tabs, so maybe the settings didn't completely carry over? Not too knowledge about that, but I'm glad the issue is resolved. Thanks for getting back to me!
