Running Ubuntu Server v12.04. I installed it as a LAMP server, and have followed the install instructions as best I can.

I have the Precurio folder unzipped at /var/www but I don't see anywhere in its contents the "install" item to do the step outlined in this:

"To start the installation, unzip the downloaded file and copy the precurio folder to your web root (i.e.
the root directory of your web server, i.e Apache ). Then point your browser to
“http://[YOURSERVERNAME]/precurio/public/install” , for example “http://kdl/precurio/public/install”"

I have verified that my apache server has mod_rewrite, mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http enabled. PHP has curl, gd2, ldap and pdo_mysql extensions enabled.

I changed the "AllowOverrideAll" in the config file "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default", and now when I go to http://IPAddress/precurio/public/install, and prior to changing this setting, I was getting a 404 File Not Found. Now I just get a blank page (HTTP 500 internal server error). I tried in both FireFox and IE. The server is on the same local network as the computer I'm working on, so I don't think there are any network problems between the two.

I was reading some posts pointing out that due to the linking mechanism, the fact that there is nothing named "install" in /var/www/precurio/public/ is OK, given it might be somewhere else, but I'm not sure where to look for it. The only thing in the unzipped contents I found relating to "install" is "install.txt"

(Trying to run) Precurio 2.1. Any help appreciated.

Please check your apache log file for the details of the internal server error.
Ok I figured it out at length ...

What the problem was is I didn't have the proper ownership/write permissions on *all* of the subfolders under the precurio folder. As a result, it tried to initialize parts with PHP which gave other errors ... long rabbit trail. That is fixed and I'm now able to get to the install page.

Linux learning curve ....

Thanks again
