Hi Everybody,

Not having a smooth install of osTicket (v1.7.2)

OzTicket install is one of the best I have worked on but the installer page is having difficulties connecting to the osticket MySQL database my case called "helpdesk"

I finally managed to connect using the IP address of the MySQL Server, ( ignoring the Port ? )

With this installation the scp login (Admin section) works and can be setup

I cannot get the customers Helpdesk page to display.

reading the forum indicates a number of possible solutions, namely:

a) Edit oz-config " # define('ROOT_PATH', '/support/'); " to hard-drive the helpdesk to the correct path . . . . ie remove # and change "support" to in my case "helpdesk"

b) Empty out the " table (ost_session) " using phpmyadmin ( NOT DELETE )

c) Edit " main.inc.php " both Hard wired and using a much more elegant fix described here : http://www.osticket.com/forums/forum/osticket-1-7-latest-release/troubleshooting-and-problems-aa/10403-patch-for-upgrade-from-1-7-0-to-1-7-1-root-web-path-issues-fix?t=16825(http://www.osticket.com/forums/forum/osticket-1-7-latest-release/troubleshooting-and-problems-aa/10403-patch-for-upgrade-from-1-7-0-to-1-7-1-root-web-path-issues-fix?t=16825)

I have re-queried the Plesk servers helpdesk and if successful will post solution tomorrow

Is there any other solution I have missed, one link was talking about the apache2 ports that I think is the problem here
