etherpad lite user basic authentication hussle - bloody JSON files

After migrating my server from one account to another, basically setting it up again, I ran into some problems with my etherpad lite installation.

Since my first post on this I wanted to add some more users for more control whose group is accessing what pad. But there was always something wrong!

My conclusions:

• use "service etherpad-lite restart" instead of the /admin restart button
• make sure that apache is running or restart it often enough
• change the bloody JSON file trough the /admin interface since its telling you about corrupt syntax

Last point on the list was my major problem for I forgot to put down some more blanks in order to have the JSON hierarchy.

After that was sorted my basic authentication ALMOST worked:

• dont use "requiresession = true" for it messes up some stuff somehow

Now my installation works like a charm with my postgresql database.
