I am trying to install DocMGR on SME 6.x without luck.

What is DocMGR? How are you trying to install it?

[howardk]

- It's a DMS http://docmgr.sourceforge.net/.
- I am trying to install it on ibay.
Have followed this install guide http://docmgr.sourceforge.net/install.php

Hi,

Have you seen, that you need PHP 5.x ?

[howardk]

Well that explains a lot. I figure I can't upgrade to php 5 because then my other php programs might not work(egroupware and Coppermine).

Anyone who knows how to uninstall postgresql, I used Van hees Michel's guide http://www.vanhees.cc/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=29

Wait a minute according to this guy it’s possible ( http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=28467.msg118868#msg118868 ) to run Docmgr on SME 7(which comes with 4.3.9) http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=esmith

It is possible,  took me a bit to get it going but,
firstly you need to get postrgress to work porperly with PHP.
see this post. http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=28990.msg121056#msg121056

after this you need to alter the open_basedir for your ibay see here
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/TroubleshootingFAQ#php_basedir

I added
 /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop <ibayname> PHPBaseDir /

I realise this is not the most secure way but im not is a shared environment so I find base directory restrictions annoying.  

u may want/need to add all the external apps as well.

after that it works like a charm!


hope it works 4 you!

cheers Jon
