This was voted down. Does that mean it doesn't work?
Dear all,
Please allow me to thank you for your help in advance!
We have successfully installed Trans Proteomics Pipeline (TPP) 4.3 on a Unix box - Debian. After necessary configuration (following SPC's tutorial), we can see the tppgui.pl through a web browser (http://.../tpp/cgi-bin/tppgui.pl).
However, we could not log on to the TPP system at all. Every time, after entering the password, the error message displayed on the TPP- login page is "User guest not found. Please check your user name, or log in as guest".
As requested by the tutorial, we have installed Apache 2 and Perl before installing TPP. Also, when trying to log on TPP, we had not recorded any error message from Apache.
Could anyone please help? I need to demo TPP in this week and would really appreciate it would work okay on Unix system.
Best regards, Gash

Well if for what ever reason the provided "guest" account doesn't work you can try to set up another account.
According to the [?]TPP wiki[?] you can do that for the DOS/Windows based tutorial like this:
Setting up an account
The TPP GUI comes with one user account. This account has ‘guest’ as both the user name and password. Below are instructions for making another account from a Cygwin shell. The Cygwin Bash Shell can be found under Cygwin in the Windows start menu.
Open the DOS shell by selecting Run under the Start menue and typing cmd. In the shell type:
cd c:\Inetpub\tpp-bin\users\
mkdir tutorial
cd tutorial
crypt isbTPPspc TPP > .password
and
chmod -R 777 C:\Inetpub\tpp-bin\users\tutorial
You have just created the password ‘TPP’ for the user ‘tutorial.’ In order to add a different username, create a tpp-bin/users/NEWUSER/ directory and run crypt isbTPPspc NEWPASSWORD > .password from this directory. In these examples "isbTPPspc" is the crypt key. This can be changed.
That is for Windows/DOS. Not sure something equivalent can be done under Linux. But since they use a Bash shell under DOS it might. You probably have to read the man pages with the distribution to find out how exactly.
This was voted down. Does that mean it doesn't work (assuming you create a new user directory in the Linux directory structure)?

Or is it because you don't like that the developers used crypt for encryption (not exactly my faults), or because crypt(1) is not part of most standard Linx distributions (the TPP people may have included it).

What is TPP?? Is this is a common app in bioinformatics, at least I didn't know it. Please post a link and a description so it is comprehensible for us.
thanks brad. when will they stop throwing meaningless acronyms at us.
