Used this one for my failed sipx attempt.

Used this one for my failed sipx attempt.

That looks like it will make things a bit easyier. I will complete this part now. Tomorrow the rest will start.. Thanks Duncan you made things easy for me again. Give this man a pay rise someone.

I'm very interested in hearing how your gforge install goes. I use it at work and think it's great. I tried installing it on SME about 18 months back but didn't get very far (I'm still pretty new to linux).

[Skydiver]

Ok The how to for postgresql worked a treated.. thanks duncan

I have now completed the import of the gforge database and starting the WEB setup.

Does it matter what location i enter the entries:
looks like i need to add them to the httpd.conf file. I am sure this will need to be the one under templates-custom.. hmmmm maybe i need to create the custom template first.

The following are sample Apache 2.0 httpd.conf entries:

[Skydiver]

ok i have all but completed the how for this part..

Now i figure i need to add the edited httpd.conf example above with correct paths to the 99gforge before i expand the template.

[altamaiz]

Great, thanks for sharing that info!
Question: Does mailman install automatically with gforge now? Or did you install that separately?

[Skydiver]

looks like we need to copy the cgi scripts into location and tell httpd.conf where they live with correct paths etc... it should do the rest..

[Skydiver]

hmmmmm looks like i could be wrong also.. just checked and could not locate any mailman script files in the tar... maybe we have to install it.. checking now

[Skydiver]

yes we need to install it but it says its optional..

optional stuff listed

PHP Accelertor
Mailman
jabber
JPGrph
Perl DBI module

[Skydiver]

This is what im thinking i will use for a test.. i will add mailman and a couple of extra's after this test.

Can anyone see an issue before i run this.
 ibay info
/home/e-smith/files/ibay/sme/html
in this ibay i placed the contents of the www from the tarball

Example only

The server i wish to setup gforge on is not a blank server it has a number of virtual domains and ibays.

I really would like to set this to run for a virtual domain not the primary domain.

I see this setup making it either the primary domain or i think it might work with gforge.primarydomain.com  but not the virtual domain as required.

Am i correct in my thinking or is there something i am not seeing.
