Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Installation problem on RedHat 8

[thorstuff]

Thanks for the reply Dave.

I had not thought of the part about the Administration app not being there
but you may be right. I did a parallel install of this app to my Red Hat
7 development box at home and  (both from the tarball). After I installed
the apps the Red Hat 7 box had about three times as many database files as
the Red Hat 8 box had. There had been four or five attempts at installing
the tarball before I tried it.

I have a lot of data in the previous install before the conversion from Red
Hat 7 to Red Hat 8 but I cannot  seemingly transfer it directly into the
new install. To be honest I am not sure exactly what was done before I was
given the job. I did also follow the instructions about updating (if that
is the right term) from the CVS.

Sorry about the vagueness of the last part but I wasn't sure it was even
relevant so I did not want to dwell on it. The host name under Red Hat 7
was 10.1.0.1. But that has to be replaced with localhost where it was used.
Mostly this in mysql database login scripts.

Hope this clears things up some.
