I downloaded the newest version today and tried to install it. I have SuSE 9.3, MySQL 4.1.10a, PHP 4.3.10. See the following:

whammo:~ # mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 221 to server version: 4.1.10a-Max

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

[(none)]>

whammo:~ # php -version PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Apr 23 2005 03:45:01) Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies whammo:~ #

When launching setup I get this:

Configuration Error:

*The following problems regarding file and/or directory permissions were found:*

The 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' directive needs to be enabled in your PHP.INI file in order for Eventum to work properly. File 'setup.conf.php' does not exist. Please create it and try again.

*Please provide the appropriate permissions to the user that the web server run as to write in the directories and files specified above.*

Here is what I have in /etc/php.ini, the allow_call.... seems to be enabled...

; Whether to enable the ability to force arguments to be passed by reference ; at function call time. This method is deprecated and is likely to be ; unsupported in future versions of PHP/Zend. The encouraged method of ; specifying which arguments should be passed by reference is in the function ; declaration. You're encouraged to try and turn this option Off and make ; sure your scripts work properly with it in order to ensure they will work ; with future versions of the language (you will receive a warning each time ; you use this feature, and the argument will be passed by value instead of by ; reference). allow_call_time_pass_reference = On

Oh yeah, before I forget, what directory is setup.conf.php supposed to be in and what should be in it???

All I really want to do is to install a ticketing package and have the darn thing work without a lot of hassle. I'm not trying to be mean but come on guys.... let's get it right or at least have the error messages really help rather than obfuscating. Your FAQ file didn't address this and of course the faq.php won't work until the setup does.

Thanks,

Al
