[freeside] Errors with New Install

[rdailey at colusanet.com]

As far as I can tell, Business::CreditCard doesn't install correctly any of 
the ways I tried.  This is probably the worst possible fix, but it worked 
for me:

I copied

/usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/CreditCard.pm
to
/usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Business/CreditCard.pm (I think I had to make 
the Business subfolder)

This fixed THAT problem, although I don't think that's the best 
method.  You might also think about creating a symbolic link, maybe.

As for the REMOTE_USER, it means that you need to set up AUTH on your 
freeside htdocs folder.  You should probably change the .htaccess file in 
the /htdocs/ folder to include these lines:

Deny from all
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file.pwd
AuthName "Freeside Billing Server For Company Name"
Require valid-user
Satisfy any

This way, when you go to open the site, it will prompt you for a username 
and password (from the pwd file) and will then use that username (which 
corresponds to the username in the /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets file) 
to map it to the right datasource.  For example, you have the username 
"admin".  The mapsecrets file reads:

admin freeside

The file freeside has:
DBI:mysql:database=freeside
freeside
password

Get it?
