This is the error i get finally when synaptic fails
"E: frontaccounting: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1"

seems like from this thread https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/post.php?tid=2845

its better to uninstall the synaptic version and go for the sourceforge version

i had uninstalled frontaccounting and it broke my lamp setup -

this is the error
"apache2: Syntax error on line 234 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf.d/frontaccounting.conf: No such file or directory
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.    [fail]"

Hi Xero Janusz

2.2.10.3 is available in the repos,

so from what Janusz says the latest frontaccounting is quite many versions off.

while I am willing to work with older versions of most stable software - it seems to me that newer software have way more significant changes as they mature which makes a case for getting the newer versions,

So i think i will go with the sourceforge version

**
Question two - any links to a installation guide for Linux (mint )

thanks

Hi

This is my first post on front accounting, so hello everyone.
Am attempting to setup frontaccounting on linux mint . I have LAMP running successfully already.

Should I go ahead and install from the repos ? . If so after installation what should I do to get started. Searching for installation and setup seems to lead me only to versions installed via tar.gz sources.

I would prefer to stick with the repos - with the thought that version updates will be smoother ? and I won't have compatibility issues with my general OS / LAMP setup.

Second - would be happy to hear from users in India and also Non Profit organizations using frontaccounting - about their experiences etc.

look forward to hearing

thanks
