TTown:
I just installed frontaccounting. It actually went pretty smoothly with the exception of the mysql database user. During the installation I had to give him all rights, not just for his own database. I removed the global rights after the installation and played with it for a bit. No problems so far.

How I did it? (ok, this outlines my second try - the first try had smesitemaker create the database user and failed with some database access problems...)
1) created a site with smesitemaker (all settings default) and removed index.htm
2) untared the .tgz file to its rightfull place (myserverip.com/front) (=/opt/front/)
3) browsed to myserverip.com/front/install
4) chowned www:www some (5) directories the installer complained about being unwritable
5) used phpMyAdmin to create a user "somename" with all rights to a database "somename" - I did for the setup have to give him some extra global rights. Since I didn't know which I gave him all and took them away again after the installation.
6) changed password for admin
Bingo

Good luck
Stefan


P.s.: I also tried NolaPro but couldn't make it run. I completely failed when I tried putting it in an ibay. Using smesitemaker I got stuck at one last (?) hurdle: It needed a certain php setting I just couldn't make work (register_long_arrays on)

I tried setting it up in an ibay and doing the manual set up. Never used sme sitemaker before but I will give it a try. Thx for the reply and suggestion.

Worked great, my problem was that I downloaded the zip file, not the tar file. Although it says they are platform independent, they don't contain the same info or perhaps the download went wrong.

Thx again
