Hello

Install and test.php OK.

Able to log on as operator.

Administration gives this:

What am I missing?

Thanks,

I figured it out! It's a temporary solution but it works.
Create a temporary file in the same directory as
config.inc.php. Just put one line in the file that looks like this:

<? echo realpath('.'); ?>

Point your browser to that file and copy the path that shows
up. Change line 69 of config.inc.php from this:

define('TMPDIR', realpath('.').'/tmp');

to this:

define('TMPDIR', 'path-you-copied/tmp');

I don't think that this is a real solution but it worked for me
and I'm off and running with it.

Hope it helps you,
Chris S.

What everyone is missing is the word admin in that path -
it's looking for the tmp directory in the admin directory
because the top-level script is admin/index.php

I've tried moving this up and renaming it admindex.php (and
all the links I can find, etc) but now I just get the login
page whenever I load admindex.php.

It seems to me that this is a fundamental design flaw that
could only have gone unnoticed if no-one did an installation
on a clean directory with the new version. That is, frankly,
unbelievable, and does not give me any confidence in the
overall quality of the program.

If anyone knows of a chat program written by competent
programmers can they let me know at simon@mindlib.co.uk

Thanks.
