config file should be in :
/yourDPinstall/includes

start with the config-dist.php file and mod it to meet your needs and save as config.php to the /yourDPinstall/includes directory.

the newer downloads have a nifty install script
/yourDPinstall/install/index.php

Good Luck

Since I now have spent around a week in my spare time tring to make this work I must give up. I am do not have enough skill to make this thing work. here is the last error that I received "
Warning: Access denied for user: 'Dotproject@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/includes/db_mysql.php on line 21

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'Dotproject@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/includes/db_mysql.php on line 21
FATAL ERROR: Connection to database server failed"
if someone want to chip in and help me a little more I would be willing to pay.
Right now I need a project managment system that I can work with.
Thanks

the error you report is a simple password error. verify your login and password for MySQL, then enter the information in your config file.
example

// DATABASE ACCESS INFORMATION [DEFAULT example]
// Modify these values to suit your local settings

$dPconfig['dbtype'] = "mysql"; // ONLY MySQL is supported at present
$dPconfig['dbhost'] = "your server name here";
$dPconfig['dbname'] = "database name here";
$dPconfig['dbuser'] = "login goes here";
$dPconfig['dbpass'] = "password goes here";

Hang in there, now that you have an error message to work from your on the downhill side.

Good Luck

Hi,
I am having problem with my dotproject installation on linux
I installed dotproject under /usr/src , so my includes directory is in /usr/src/dotproject.
and in config.php i specified

$dpconfig[dbuser] = root // mysql username
$dpconfig[rootdir] =/usr/src/dotproject
$dpconfig[base_url]=http://ipaddr/dotproject

when I try to access it using http://ipaddr/dotproject/index.php
We are using Apache 2.0 server.

It displays:

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
Error 404

Could someone please help? thanks in advance.

I think you need to make a change to:

$dpconfig[base_url]=http://ipaddr/dotproject

And add the correct extension for your site: .NET .COM .ORG

http://ipaddr.com/dotproject/index.php

The easiest way is to create a sumbolic link in apache's web structure to point at your dP installation.

I have my entire Apache web directory set up this way in order to keep it on a seperate physical drive.
