[LON-CAPA-admin] Install error

Richard,

>> install: destination owner 500 doesn't exist

> [root at ldvstulon01 installation]# id www
> uid=38269(www) gid=1759(www) groups=1759(www)

On my CentOS 6.5 system I have:

id www
uid=500(www) gid=500(www) groups=500(www)

One thing to try would be to change both the uid and gid for the www  
user and www group to 500, and then do make clean and run ./UPDATE  
again.

That decision was made fifteen years ago, at the very beginning of the  
  LON-CAPA project, and is something which predates my involvement.
