<p>Dear Eric, </p>
<p>I am running AIPS on a local server (in University of Oxford, UK).I'm getting an error at start-up, which other users have seen in the past (but, as far as i understand, on the Socorro server). The message is the following:</p>
<p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">START_AIPS: Starting TV servers on localhost asynchronously</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">START_AIPS:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>- WITH Unix Sockets as requested...</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">After which I can provide user ID number, and I can apparently use AIPS normally. However, I don't want to run into permissions problems later, so I'm awriting to try and fix this.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The bit that worries me is the following: </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">ZMSGER: ON FILE DA01:MSD001000.001;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> ZMSGER: IN ZDAOPN ERRNO = 13 (Permission denied)</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">MSGWRT ERROR<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>6 AT OPEN<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">which, based on an answer you gave to somebody getting the same problem, is related to the fact that the account I am using is not in the aipsuser group. Now, the question is: what do I tell to my IT guy to help him fix this?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Cheers,</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sara </span><span class="s1"></span></p>
