I know there is going to be some really easy fix for this, but as I'm learing as much about linux as I am ZM, I don't know what it is.

When I "make install" here's what I get
Notice the "chown 'apache:apache' : invalid user" error
This seems to happen a couple of times
This is Debian (sarge) and I did execute this after su to root

In configure your using the wrong webuser and webgroup.

Check your httpd.conf (should be in /etc/http or etc/apache) and see what the user and group apache is configured for and use those for your configure setting for ZM.

There is like 200 more lines of errors like this one of them claims not to be able to find perl libs (the same I used to configure?)

Thanks for the heads up on the user and group with webserver. I changed everything several times (both apache config and zm config) before I realized i needed to "apache -k restart"

Some of this errors are missing perl modules.
Can't locate Date/Manip.pm
LWP/UserAgent.pm

Others suggest that you still don't have the correct user and group set in the zm configure script before you compiled.

If you would like you can email me access for ssh and I can go trough and fix these for you.

Else you can call me Via Free World Dialup (FWD)
