jmraz15,

I had a similar trouble when installing in Mandriva Linux 2008. I already had a mysql installed and when I tried to install the mysql-server package it would not work.

Seems to be a Mandriva bug. A pity, for I enjoy myself with Mandriva dayly too. Anyway, as I am no expert in MySql and Mandriva issues, i decide to install the OpenEMM in a different server.

I'm using Cent OS 5 now. Everything installed OK. I'm only having trouble with the statistics feature (i think i skipped some step). As for Mandriva, does anyone know the reason for this trouble?

thanks in advance

thanks for the info you gave lucianosb.

but i havn't figure out it yet.
anyone know how to fix this problem? Mandriva is the os used in the company so I really need to make openEMM work on this machine.
