Thanks for the feedback guys. To respond to a couple of points:

* The installer was an afterthought and an aversion to writing a proper install HOWTO. Thus the bugginess. I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon squashing all the bugs over email with a new user. The installer should be pretty solid now and negate the need to play with bblog.conf after the install.

Quote

The bblog.conf needed to be made readable and writeable or it came up with a message like "bblog.conf not found - rerun setup"

* This was due to the sanity check in bblog itself coming before sourcing bblog.conf. It's been corrected and reuploaded.

The installer basically checks the permissions for the directory you want to install to, writes the config file and unpacks everything to the install directory and chmod's a couple of directories.

The setup.sh is about half the size of the original install doc and I thought an installer would be a nice touch (but didn't realize it would be such a pain in the ass.)

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. Praise from the likes of John and Roberts means a lot. Thanks guys.

I must be installing incorrectly..
the bblog.conf continues to have your data in it, not mine.
and I get the error " can't find bblog.conf "

If I edit the bblog.conf, it works great !
kudos...

Okay, NOW the installer works as advertised.

I inadvertantly packed a bblog.conf into the install.tar.gz and it overwrote the one generated by the install script.

I feel like a big idiot, sorry 'bout that ke4nt1.

If anybody wants to download it again and make sure I didn't pull another boneheaded maneuver, I'd be much appreciative.
