Kolab Server Installation problems: Mandrake 10.0 packages (kolab1)

[Tobias Weisserth]

Hi everybody,

I have installed the kolab rpm package with its dependancies using urpmi on 
Mandrake 10.0 (download edition).

I then ran kolab_bootstrap and started the service. I could connect to the PHP 
web admin interface but it didn't work and printed a bunch of error messages 
into the page I don't understand.

So I ran the bootstrap again to see again if I missed any errors.

This is the screen output:

I can then start the service without any problems:

What's wrong?

When I call https://myhost.domain.tld/kolab/admin I get these error messages 
in the page:

directory in /var/www/html/kolab/admin/include/headfoot.php on line 9

Please be gentle since I'm rather new to all this. I'm not at all familiar 
with Kolab and all I understand is that kolab somehow is a wrapper for the 
individual services. Where do I start from where I am now?

thanks,
Tobias
