Well, if it's a problem with the PHP code, we can help there. But it
also requires a bit of php knowledge on your part. You need to do the
initial troubleshooting; we can't see your system.
That's why I said - since your objective is to get a packaged program
running, your best bet is to try the support structure for that package.
It almost always is.
P.S. Please don't top post.
