tip - Installing sybase on OS X server

Just had a load of problems getting sybase to work on an os x server after the full servoy installation.

It seems to be a permissions issue on the sybase _db directory.

So when installing on OS X server it is worth doing a chmod 777 * on the sybase_db folder.

I would never do that!! Unless nobody has access to that machine that is very insecure as you are giving anybody full r/w/x access.

I’d recommend you first find out why the problem you mentioned is happening, I suppose it is because you are executing as a different user than installing? If so a chown -R to the correct user would me more appropiate.
