[Phpgroupware-users] Problem getting to config

[Marc Lutolf]

Here's an apparent problem at installation:

1. You've set up your header.inc.php and want to configure the installation.

2. You type in your <yoururl>/phpgroupware, rather than
<yoururl>/phpgroupware/setup and get the following message:

Fatal Error: It appears that you have not created the database tables for
phpGroupWare. Click here to run setup.

3. The word "here" is a link, but it points back to your root directory,
rather than /setup.
The reason is that the link is based on $PHP_SELF, which turns out in this
case to be empty.

In detail this is happening at:

Line 638 of /phpgwapi/inc/functions.inc.php:

$setup_dir = ereg_replace($PHP_SELF,'index.php','setup/');

but in this case $PHP_SELF is empty, so $setup_dir, which is the link
address, is also empty.
