script to fix DSS login (Forbidden/403 errors) problems on headless servers



Enclosed is a script that can be run to take care of the 403 problems. 
After you untar DarwinStreamingSrvr4.0-xxxxx.tar.gz and run the Install 
script, run SetupDSS.sh. It will prompt you for username and password 
which you can use to administer DSS.

Once you do this, you can go to a browser on any remote machine and 
login to DSS admin. You will not get the SetupAssistant but you can 
configure all those settings in General Settings section.

The script does whatever Chris asked y'all to do yesterday as a 
workaround:

This is just a workaround for people who don't have the GUI parts 
installed on their linux (and other unix) servers. This is not intended 
for MacOSX QTSS servers. We are going to make this process better for 
the final release, so that you don't run into the same issues again. We 
appreciate your feedback and patience!

Hope this helps,
mythili
