I installed the Open Document Management app on my Linux box;
Went to my browser to run the install script.
This is the msg I get...
"Checking that templates_c folder is writeable... OK
installing...
Unable to connect!"
I have set the permissions in MySQL and the ODM db as well as created hosts permissions.
What am I in need of.
Here is the config.php file:

That error messages is related the MySQL datbase. Looks like maybe your database hostname is incorrect.

Are you saying the hostname should be "localhost" which is the default value?
Note the line in the config file:
-
$GLOBALS['hostname'] = 'mydomain.com'; // Enter the hostname that is serving the database
-
mydomain.com is not a literal representation.
I change the text to protect my domain on this public forum.......it is the name of the domain used for serving our web page email and now ODM. There is only one domain on this box.

Are you running the database on the same machine as ODM?
If yes, then the database hostname should be left as "localhost".
If no, the the database hostname should be the fully qualified name of the database host. Maybe something like "host.mydomain.com". In this case you also need to double check that the database server is configured to listen to for TCP connections from remote hosts, and that any firewalls between the ODM server and database server will allow the database traffic.

Thank you so much. I have it up and now I find we can not upload MS Office documents to the application. Do I need to set up Samba for the Document Repository and if so what is the step by step process?
I am fairly new to Samba and the configuration needed for ODM.

There is no need to configure Samba, OpenDocMan is strictly web based. Document uploads and downloads occur via the web browser.
Is ODM displaying an error mesage?
Have you looked at your webserver's log files?
Did files get created in your dataDir?
Did tables get updated within MySQL?
The most common problem with uploads has to do with mimetype configuration.

Have you looked at your webserver's log files? In the error log I found this:

Where do I check the mimetype configuration?

The webserver errorlog shows a problem with the filesize of your upload. Change your configuration to allow for larger uploads. Check three things:
OpenDocMan: max_filesize
Apache: LimitRequestBody
PHP: post_max_size
