hi

Web server ok, php ok PhpMyAdmin OK, Mysql Ok
opendocman 1.3.7 downloaded en extracted in /var/html/www/opendocman

access www.mydomain.com/opendocman
asked for creating Configuration file
next page explain parameters to have
click “let’s go” … -> nothing more

does’nt matter
i modify the Sample configuration file config-sample.php and specify my parameters
dbname
username
password
hostname to localhost;port=3306

save as config.php

create a database names opendocman with the right pasword !
import database.sql inside

then i can access using www.mydomain.com/opendocman the login page !!!
i try username “admin” with no password
and …
i have a blank page named www.mydomain.com/opendocman/index.php

what is the pb and the next step ?

Solved …

2 problems :
i had to redo a chown -R on the opendocman directory after installation
i had to modify the “base_url” record into the “odm_setting” table of the database to replace http://localhost/opendocman by http://www.mydomain.com/opendocman
and the default password off “admin” is not empty but “admin”

thanks

Hello, please try the latest release. There have been many fixes since 1.3.7.

Hi Guys, I have installed the latest version 1.4.0 and I appear to be missing the base_url line in my db… Should I install an earlier version and then upgrade or can someone tell me what to put in where (I am not good with db’s)

@paul1965 Little late but, base_url is now computed instead of being stored in the database. Have you tried one of the more recent releases?
