Did you follow the installation instructions including these requirements?

1. REQUIREMENTS
---------------
Before installing tmsINTRANET, the following requirements must be met:

1. No web server must be running on port 8080 at the time of installation and after.
   If you have a web server such as IIS running on port 8080, please disable it.
   You may need to also uninstall or disable automatic startup of your existing
   web server. The default installation of tmsINTRANET will install Apache Tomcat
   which includes a web server.

2. If you have mysql and tomcat installed. Please make sure no application is using it because the installer will automatically shut down mysql and tomcat.

3. In order to use the Email client module in tmsINTRANET, you will need access
   to a SMTP and POP3 server.

4. tmsINTRANET requires a Java 2 Runtime Environment, and the setup will
   install JRE 1.3 if you do not already have it.

Also, if you just used the install script then it will probably not work.  E-Smith is based on Red Hat but is structured differently.  Applications that install on redhat will generally not install properly on smith without some tweaking.

How exactly did you install this application?

[TeeLoak]

Yes, I installed from the normal script: ./install en   and yes it does not work.
I am not sure I understand.  In MYSQL, I am not using any databases, but there
are three installed in MYSQL, 1: Horde 2: MYSQL 3: TEST.  Should I delete them?

Also, I am pretty certain no server is running on port 8080.   Now, will I still be able to keep my business website on port 80?

Thanks
you've been helpful!

And it WON'T work without some major tweaking.

No, These three databases are created when you install sme.  Horde is for your mail server and I am not sure exactly what the other 2 are for.

As the requirements state above, you will have to disable or remove all other web servers (this would include Apache that is installed along with sme).  By default, the sme installed Apache is running on port 8080.

When you installed this application, it also installed a second web server.  This will cause all kinds of problems trying to run 2 web servers together.  It may be possible with MAJOR tweaking.  My knowledge of Linux is far from adequate and I wouldn't begin to be able to tell you where to start.

You need to understand the "Template System" that sme uses before you attempt any modifications of your sme server.

The application you are trying to install is trying to re-configure a NON-STANDARD Linux installation.  IT WILL NOT WORK out of the box.  Do you understand how sme works?

Does the application use php and mysql together?

If it does, and will run on Apache, then maybe you can strip the php scripts and mysql databases away from the entire application and try installing them only and using Apache and Mysql that is loaded with sme.  

I will download the app an look at it to see how it works.  Give me a couple of days and I will get back to you.

Good Luck,

Paul

Tee,

After poking around, it appears that this app needs Java to work and someone has figured out how to impliment Tomcat and Java on sme.  Like I said earlier, it takes some tweaking but looks like it may work.  He has also figured out how to make Tomcat and Apache work together.

I have downloaded the application and will experiment on my test server.  I run sme 5.6u4, what version of sme do you have installed?

[TeeLoak]

I have 5.6 also...  Great base on my knowledge of Linux... I thank you for time and expertise.
