Intuit refuses to support QuickBooks on a Linux server of any type in your computer network unless you spring for their $3000.00 Enterprise Solutions package. A Windows server is fine but if you run QuickBooks on Windows PCs while a Linux server holds all the QuickBooks data files you may get a QuickBooks error code -6190 -82. I fixed this problem on a client’s server, let me tell you how.
The Problem: All the users that needed QuickBooks logged in to the server and had Admin access but only the user that owned the data file was able to access it. All other QuickBooks users were given the -6190 -82 error code.
Partial Solution #1: I had them run QuickBooks from a batch file that would remove the “Read Only” attribute.
Partial Solution #2: On the server I changed the ownership setting of the all the QB Data files to that group.
The Final Solution: After trying many solutions that at best worked only temporarily, In noticed the file permissions for the .TLG file had changed on the server. This encouraged me to look for what would change them and how to prevent the permissions from changing. After testing, changing, testing, changing and retesting, I finally have the complete solution to the problem.
1. create a new group for all QuickBooks users.
2. Make the group created in step #1 the owner of your .QBW and .TLG file with both “Read & Write”
3. On each users computer (at least the ones who backup the QuickBooks file), set the program NOT to verify the backup data.
4. The problem has been fixed.
So what is the reason for this? You can set the permissions on the .TLG file but if you still verify the backup data, QuickBooks it creates a new .TLG file with the same name. That causes the file’s permissions to be reset. Backing up without verifying saves the file permissions and allows everyone to use the QuickBooks data files with a Linux server.
