phprojekt is a groupware product similair to phpGroupWare. One of its nice features is a php setup file. The problem is the setup file won't execute properly on an e-smith system. It is probably a pathing problem. I have looked at the code in the file but don't see what the program is looking for with regard to mysql and the php directory structure. I am sure it doesn't know how to deal with ibays and virtual domains. If anyone of you has altered the setup.php file to work on e-smith I would be very grateful to know how you did it. TIA.
For those of you interest in looking at the application it can be found at: http://www.phprojekt.com/
Best Regards,

I successfully installed phprojekt onto an e-smith server. Here's how I did it.
Since the primary html directory has php inactive and there is no easy way to acivate it, I had to create an ibay for each php program.
1. Create an ibay and call it phproject. I called it phproject since I have an easier time with english. Activate the php, cgi-bin stuff. Also, make sure you can ftp to it, so you can install the program. I also made sure that I could connect via the internet.
2. I untarred phprojekt on my client machine. I ftp'd to my server and copied the contents of the phprojekt-2.0 directory into phproject/html ibay.
3. On your server you need to create a mysql database before
you can install phprojekt. Use "mysqladmin create phproject"
4. Now back on your client machine. Open a browser and connect to your website and add /phproject/setup.php. You should be at the setup page. Remember that the database is the one you just created.
This works for all php programs. e-smith sets up the Apache configuration (httpd.conf) file with aliases to the ibays, so you can easily get to them. You should not have to edit the httpd.conf file at all.

The fix for PHP support in 4.1.2 is out..
There is a missing line in an httpd.conf template fragment, resulting in PHP being disabled for the primary i-bay.
Temporary Fix:
Update e-smith-base, e-smith-base-4.4.0-14.noarch.rpm
Additional Comments:
This bug is not found in version prior to e-smith 4.1.2.

I don't know if this makes a difference. I am attempting to install 2.1 I have created a database using phpMyAdmin. However I an unable to create tables because then are created by the setup.php program. I can't get that program to accept any combination of host, user name , password and database file name.

the mysql password is not the same as your root password.
the password is stored in /root/.my.cnf
otherwise everthing looks right.

There were no problems with the installation and the first configuration of the phprojekt. - They came up later!
Now I can run the setup.php and change everything but the
changes wont be saved. The document management is set to the path /usr/local/http ... such a path doesnt exist on the e-smith
Maybe I schould change it to /home/httpd/phprojekt and create the subdirectory
Can anybody give me advice?
