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.
Ok ... so you have drawn the short straw by the sounds of things. I am
still a bit lost about what you are trying to acheive. If you are
trying to move an install from one machine to another ... here is what I
would do:
mysqldump the old install
Untar the tarball ... run a cvs update
Copy over your old header.inc.php file.
Manually edit the header file for your new db server name
import the db data
Run the setup again to make sure everyting is upto date
That should be it. If i have misunderstood, could you please explain a
bit more.
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.
This now makes sense.
Hope this clears things up some.

I am having a problem with an install of the phpgroupware

too.) but
when the phpgroupware starts up I do not get the Administration

Ummm ... sounds like a bad setup. I take that you do not have
any real
data in your db.
Go to setup - setup/config and check that you have the admin app
installed. I would also suggest that you go to setup -
setup/config -
create accounts - this should recreate the accounts properly.
btw what package system are you using? cvs, tarball, rpms?
While this may or may not have a bearing on the problem, I have
had to
go into all of my php app config files and change the host from
the
machine url to "localhost." This has been something of an issue
as
I
have worked for the past four days or so (off and on) to get the
phpgroupware working. But whether it is a problem now I don't know.
Ummm ... i don't understand why you have done this. But it could be
part of your problem.
