  • Hi Ben,
    I have also had some problems installing it on Suse 9.3. Actualy I didnt
    managed to install it, and finaly I had to edit configuration file so that
    check for apache config files are not executed...
    First try what Ondra said and then try this.
    I assume that its Apache2 so, what I have done is this:
    in .install_conf find file check4_functions, open it in edit mode, and find
    user_line=`grep -h -E "^[[:space:]]*User[[:space:]]+" ${conf_files} 2>
    /dev/null`
    if ["$user_line"=""];then
    echo "Invalid apache configuration files. Aborting"
    this is one of 2 checks that fails under Suse. I think that first one checks
    apache user name, and other apache group. So just edit if["$user_line"=""]
    to if["$user_line"="1"] (since user_line will not return value 1 check will
    be ok).
    All this for second check but with $group_line... Now, all this assuming
    that Your apache is configured correctly, otherwise You will install it but
    it will not work. Afterwards, You should probably have some more errors due
    to different locations of libraries on Suse distro, but just add them in
    search path in check4_functions file. Now, I know that this "hack" is sooooo
    lame, but actualy I dont care since it works, at least worked on my machine
    Smile

    Best regards
    Boban
