    I am currently trying to set up phpgedview but when I go through the initial configuration, the system doesn't save the admin details and so I am unable to log in to the site.

    the system doesn't save the admin details

    You must follow the WIKI instructions to the letter. While it is relatively easy, it isn't foolproof - hence the detailed instructions. http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php?title=Installation_Guide_v4.2.x

    If attempting to install v4.2.3, are you using the stable release or the tarball download with considerably more updates as a serious privacy bug fix?

    If your system is compatible with the PGV v4.2.3 release, you may wish to examine webtrees. http://www.webtrees.net.  It has a truly foolproof install procedure and is a bit faster, especially on medium to large gedcoms.

    okbigkid you are a star. It turns out that there was some data in the databases, cleared the crap out and it worked like a charm. Thanks again.
