OK, I've been trying to find some good web-based project management software, you might know the sort :
- multiple projects
- multiple users
- tasks within projects
- time-based tasks (i.e. "every Friday you have to do .....")
- to do lists
- due by dates
- etc....
The first recommendation was php-collab, but the minimal install instructions (and my non-existent knowledge of PHP) means I can't get it working (login errors after a seemingly successful database creation). So this thread is two-pronged :
- has anyone successfully setup collab, and has the time to guide me through my current install issues ?
-OR-
- can anyone recommend any other software that can do the same job ?
(PS Does Snitz use something to manage this sort of stuff ?) |

Soon i'm going to start coding something like this into my Snitz based site for Dev. It dont seem like a very good task  |

TimeTracker seems more like a timesheet system, I need something a lot more complex than that unfortunately, but thanks for the link anyway  |

| Worst case Laser we'll just put the phpcollab on a nix machine, I'm sure it's something to do with Windows+PHP not playing nice. |

Oops, I forgot to mention the other criteria ... it must be free software  |

| We are working on a system like this where I work. My initial concept was made with php and MySQL but now we are doing it in Python and MS SQL. |

dont know how much use these'll be but all from the FSF Free software directory so price should be no problem ;)
"Planner/MrProject"
"Achievo"
"TaskJuggler"
"WebCollab"
"Opensched"
WebCollab and opensched seem to be the closest things to what you're looking for. |

Thanks for that list Jezmeister I looked thru the FSF site as well, I found Achievo but not WebCollab. The other ones won't measure up, but that's not your fault
FWIW, Gremlin came to the rescue (again ) and installed php-collab on a *nix machine running Apache and it worked straight away. The software is good, but obviously not when you're running under IIS |

| Found another one that looks ok too http://www.countersoft.com/ Free 10 user license and its a .NET app. It's mainly for "Issue Tracking" with projects but may suit some of your requirements anyway. |

Only one thing kills it the TLA saying :
No installation is permitted on an internet-facing server.

| No worries, it's a bit like Snitz you could probably disregard the TLA but you will get caught at some stage |
