  • Hello Robert,

    Newscoop is incompatible (without serious tweeking) with more recent versions of Debian and Ubantu - if you install it on Ubantu 14.04 or Debian 7 and use the console command (php application/console newscoop:install --fix --database_name newscoop --database_user root --database_password password), it will work.
