As usual I am out of my depth and seek some guidance please.
Running openSUSE 13.1 64 bit with KDE desktop I am trying to install OrangeHRM an HR management package which runs on LAMP stack.
For the LAMP stack the recommended package is XAMPP which I have been able to install without difficulty and get servers running.
The OrangeHRM installation instructions then suggest I use their web based installer but I fall at second fence with a permissions issue.
Before I go into details there is one instruction right at the start which I do not understand. (Cut and paste from the instructions is not working so I cannot copy.) The instruction states that at the start I must change the ownership of the OrangeHRM files to "nobody.nobody" I have done this (chown -R nobody:nobody) and checked this has indeed changed ownership, but how is this then used? Does "nobody" have a special significance. Should I have nobody as a user? All beyond me at present. Can somebody please advise.
