RE: FW: [Phpgroupware-users] Admin account

[Tony Howden]

Hi Chris

Without checking back on the details, the problem that I had was that one of the
apps that was not installed was the admin app ;-)

I am not certain what the process does, but my reading of it it that the apps 
are
included in the distribution but not registered in the sql database and 
therefore
not usable. I went through trying to install every app which gives you a list of
the problems (missing dependencies) which you can resolve by specifying just 
that
application. Once this is done, then all the applications are available. Now I 
just
cannot recall why I thought the application install failed in the first place. 
It
may have been a php version issue, but it might not. Just check closely what the
errors are when you try to install each application.

Now, I think the install guide you refer to is saying a) we expect that the
applications will be automagically installed, therefore skip #4 and b) since 
they
are installed you can now go to the admin screen and 'add' the applications that
can be used by each user to their list, i.e. not 'add apps to the system' but to
the users access list. But since the a) failed, the b) is also failing.

cheers
Tony
