Do not worry :) nothing will be broken :) > I added the appropriate lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and > installed the packages as described on the Midgard page > (http://www.midgard-project.org/news/New%20Debian%20Packages%20for%20Midgard > .html) (with typo corrected), i.e., > > # apt-get install php4-midgard libapache-mod-midgard > > Which installed without complaint, pausing to ask if I wanted to restart > Apache.

If You read README.Debian You should notice that one package is missing 'midgard-data'. But it is used just once wile setting up database. Please download latest midgard-data from: http://www.midgard-project.org/attachment/434f392e6f87e1e76202f00695dd251f/0f0e7701c51845a9717a11fd17d06591/midgard-data-1.4.3-RC-1.tar.bz2 run configure to set up necessary data and next run dbinstall script. >I see a reference to the package > midgard-data in the php4-midgard docs, which apparently does this, but this > package doesn't seem to be available.

You may have different midgard or apache conf file. It depends on You. You may store midgard hosts in apache httpd.conf file or include midgard.conf file (I suggest it). > I am concerned that if I start mucking about in the config files and > databases, when the appropriate changes have already been made by apt-get, I > will break something. As for now there is no any debian package to 'touch' midgard db. Installation midgard with apt-get will just install libraries , apache and php modules. It works very fine with install and remove apt-get options. Please , ask for anything in case of any problems. We try to make debian packages very very good working packages. Any info about running this on debian machines is very needed :) Regards Piotras P.S. If You notice that You can not sleep, and still thinking of midgard do not worry , it is quite normal ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
