Have you already taken a look at the log files of the httpd daemon? See /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/access_log.

Found a fix, see link for answer:

william_syd, The reason I have decided to take a look at Odysseus Blog because I am looking for something that has a look and feel of myspace and something that is easy to install.
Odysseus Blog seems to be both things I was looking for.
But as you have mentioned, it is a little incomplete and some functions don't work, ie. search.

Do you have any suggestions as far as any other blog program that has myspace look and work on SME Server?

Thanks

Hey guys... I know this is a bit old, but yeah... Google just now registered it when i searched for stuff about my project.

I was aware of the error in install.php and a fix was posted... The only reason I didn't have a patch was because version 2.0 will fix everything (including search) and add much more functionallity to it (various languages, page layout templates, etc.).

Hope you'll give version 2.0 a shot. Expect the release within the month :)
