Mythweb has been installed in Debian/testing
It was installed from the "Squeeze" repo using the
Synaptic package manager. Mythtv was was also installed using the squeeze repo and synaptic package manager.

Mythtv works; Mythweb does not. It looks like both packages took care of the configuration.

If I type the URL "http://localhost/index" into a browser, it works.
However "http://localhost/mythweb" does not.

here is the apache2 error log:
Can anyone help?

Sounds like apache isn't configured properly, it may have downloaded the packages for it, but not configured apaches http.conf file. Could you post it so we can see how it's configured, most likely be /etc/http/http.conf

Thank you for the response.
No http.conf, what I found was "httpd.conf" --- and it is empty.

Apache2 is the one that is installed. It looks like some of the file names have changes and that Apache2 is placing some things in different locations. If that’s true, I need to find a reference that shows the correspondence.

Perhaps I should check the mythweb irc;

Before that though a little more research is in order.

I'll post to this thread again if I get nowhere.

Thanks again,
Gary

Oops, sorry that was an error on my part, I meant httpd.conf file. Most likely the developers of you distro has placed files in different places, if you compile from source it will go in the default locations that apache developers have set, unless you choose a different location. See how you go, if you still have trouble i would be glad to post my httpd.conf file i use for my myhtbox, it's uses apache2, so it will work for yours.

There are (were) two problems.

First one is that there is a bug in the version of mythweb that is in the debian repository. I retrieved the latest mythweb from subversion, and the php error went away.

Second problem is my interpretation of the install document.
I went thru it three times from scratch and each time received the same results.

After entering "http://<local ip address>" on the browser address line, this is displayed: If I enter "http://<local ip address>/mythweb", I get: Oops! This link appears to be broken." what I really get is the mythweb index listing

I believe that means I'm missing something in one of the config files -
but I know next to nothing about apache and network/server configuration.

I had placed the folder "mythweb" as a sub directory in /etc/apache2"; with a symbolic link to it in "/var/www" and that affected the way I had modified the "mythweb.conf.apache" file. (I gotta remember the kiss principle - keep it simple)

I moved "mythweb" to /var/www and re-did the changes to "mythweb.conf.apache". almost works.

The version of mythweb in the debian repository, contains a bug that prevents it from working.
So I got a copy of mythweb from subversion trunk; and that is causing compatability problems.

ONE OF MANY MESSAGES
" Notice at /var/www/mythweb/classes/MythBackend.php, line 100:!!NoTrans: Incompatible protocol version (mythweb=58, backend=56)!! "

now what --- really not looking forward to installing mythtv from source

Took problem to mythtv mailing list and was directed to
svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/tags/release-0-23/mythplugins/mythweb

That copy of mythweb corrected the problem
