The group owner and permissions must be set properly so that Apache can read/write to the data files. On webtest, it should be assigned as:
chown -R :web-apache data
chmod –R g+w data
Also, on each system, the $ROOT must be set in src/include.php. This is the absolute path to the root of the system. For example, for user rlourens on webtest:
$ROOT = '/home/ugrad1/rlourens/WWW/';
If you are not sure what this path is, execute pwd from the root folder (which contains data, src, prototype, etc.)
