When attempting to finalize the last step of Cartaro installation (Configure Site) I am receiving the following error:

"A PostGIS enabled database is required; version 1.5 is strongly recommended. Cannot access existing PostGIS installation from Drupal. This might also be caused by missing read permissions on the spatial_ref_sys and geometry_columns tables."

According to the the release notes for 1.0-beta4: "This includes updates to many components Cartaro is based on, brings PostGIS 2.0 compatibility as well as improvements to Cartaro itself."

Have you received any additional comments regarding this error?

I am using PostgreSQL 9.2, PostGIS 2.0, Geoserver2.2.3, and Cartaro 1.0-beta4.

If anything else is needed please let me know.
Charles

I discovered my problem late yesterday evening.

When I created my PostGIS database, none of the permissions were set to my drupal user as I created it using pgAdmin, using the template PostgisDB created at installation. I will have to create a separate postgis installation for the drupal user via SQL scripts instead.

Charles, can you please post references to the SQL scripts you used to grant permissions to the drupal user?
