Huh? Has anyone else seen this? It should be sufficient to set the
extension_path in php.ini.

Or rather, be fixed. Either in Midgard, or, as it looks to me in this
case, in PHP. PHP extension loading should not, in general, require
changes to you dynamic loader setup. It never did for me.

Do you have 'AddType application/x-httpd-php .php'? Without it PHP
(and thus Midgard) won't work at all.

Asgard-1.4.1.xml is in the CVS. Makedist gzips it as part of creating
the packages.

Midgard serves its content from the database so this directory doesn't
need to exist.

Only required for the old admin site and the example site. Asgard has
its own images.

That's correct, those are in the database.

Probably because you haven't uncommented the MidgardTemplate calls et
al. T\You don't need this for general midgard access BTW.

Yes, everything comes from the database. Connects where?

While you are right the install needs to be simpler yet, it has made
great strides since 1.2 (trust me on this). But why would you loose
two days of your time, and not consult the mailinglist?
