 There are some errors. How can I make this work?

Thanks

Don't install it. As a search here will indicate, it will cause lots of problems.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I won't be installing it. I used it in ClarkConnect which made it easier to access files on the server.

I went to webmin.com and used wget to get the tarble file. Then I extracted the file and ran ./install.sh. Works fine so far. I didnt know what I had to do for selecting OS type so I selected red hat 7.1. I think thats what SME 5.5 is based on. I am new to SME.
