    Sometimes problems at installation-time have nothing to do with
    Campsite itself. You should pay attention to the installation
    environment at all.

    An example:

    Pedro, from digitalnegocio, had a problem trying to create a new
    Publication. In fact, when i logged in i identified the same trouble
    in different Campsite admin places.

    So, what was the problem?

    When you tried to create the new Publication, you had got a blank
    page. No errors, no auto Bug Reporter page, nothing, just a blank
    page.

    Looking for a possible error source, i figured out it was because of
    including www-common/html/include/phorum/include/db/mysql.php and
    tracing the error it showed this:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
    allocate 92160 bytes) in
    /usr/local/campsite/www-common/html/include/phorum/include/db/mysql.php
    on line 3943

    I incremented memory_limit from 8M to 32M, restarted apache, and
    voila! it works now and Pedro is happy by playing with Campsite.

    So, be careful with your installation environment, sometimes it is not
    just a matter of fulfill dependencies.

    Hi Holman,

    Please add this to the Campsite troubleshooting page:
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/wiki/Troubleshoting

    From now on we should record all these cases and just guide our users to this page if possible.
    This should save us time.

    Thanks,
    Mugur

    I've expanded and updated the installation documentation in the manual:

    http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/2.6/index.php?id=6

    I also added instructions for setting up the php.ini file:

    http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/2.6/index.php?id=200

    And updated the instructions on Apache:

    http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/2.6/index.php?id=7

    Holman & Mugur, please feel free to adjust as you see fit.

    - Paul

    OK, I deleted the troubleshooting section from wiki and created one in the manual, although
    docmint is killing me.
