Hello James, The error message that you report is generated by Petunia (the user interface) and not the web server. As a measure of precaution, Petunia only allows access to directories below a certain hierarchy, which can be specified when you install the software.
In order to make these change (which won't be overridden when you upgrade to a newer version of TPP), open the tpp_gui_config.pl file, and add the following lines after the line "# SET TPP_GUI DEFAULTS HERE": 'base_dir' => '/usr/local/apps/tpp/', 'www_root' => '/usr/local/apps/tpp/data/', Make sure you include the trailing commas and preserve the quotes. You can adjust these values, as necessary, as well as others. You can override other default values in Petunia that are specified by the "readconfig" assignments; look through the first couple of dozen lines of tpp_gui.pl to view them all. On your next upgrade, just remember to copy this file over to preserve your changes. Hope this helps, and thanks for using the tools. --Luis On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 12:13 AM, sirlark <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to install TPP on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.3.
