    I am brand new to SI and just downloaded/installed the latest release (20080303)
    After following the installation instructions (I think). SI started up in German which I can not read.
    Also, I could not find the pdf directory to make or test the PDF features.

    So, what did I do wrong.
    The Mysql Database looks OK
    phpinfo looks OK
    gd2 support looks OK
    Reports - keeps failing

    Being able to read the screen would help :P - then I might be able to figure out some of the messages.

    Thanks from a newb

    OK - I fixed the German by changing the first si_system_defaults.language to en-gb :P .

    I still have problems with getting through the Database Upgrade Manager. That will probably go away with a fresh install.

    Is there a way to download the release as a compressed tar file via FTP. Since I am working on remote servers that I ssh into, it would be a lot less hassle. Even anonymous ftp would be easier.

    Thanks for the help and quick reply.

    The new release 20080309 did the trick. All of the data structure was fine and the installation & operation went very smoothly.

    Thanks again for the response.

    Hey Gene,

    glad to hear its all good

    re ftp
    - not as a tar file - only have Simple Invoices as a zip file (tar confuses all the windows people)
    - you should be able to find a sourceforge ftp mirror to download it off - but im not sure of the details

    Cheers
