So I am installing dotProject on apache 2.0.50 with PHP 5.0.1 on Redhat Linux 7.3 (I cannot change this. Other progs need 7.3).

When I go to the login page I get the white screen. When I go to check.php everything is ok except the root_dir.

root_dir lists as: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dotproject which is correct. I am not a novice linux user. I am positive that this is the correct path.

The strange thing is that for the status message it gives:
root_dir seems to be incorrect, probably should be

and that is it. no suggestion on what root_dir should be. I tried setting root_dir to blank:
$dPconfig['root_dir'] = "";

and that did not work (of course).

I have searched the forum and most of the people have fixed this issue by setting root_dir to what is recommended in check.php. Unfortunately that is not an option for me.

any ideas?

It could be the use of PHP5. Please let me make this exceptionally clear. Use PHP5 at your own risk - we do not support it. Should the situation change we will add a news item to that effect.

The next thing to try is to get the CVS snapshot which is more forgiving of incorrect root_dir.
