Alastair,

Sorry for the long delay in replying, I've been in hospital (and have to 
go back in again in a couple of weeks).

The user details for logging in to Ubuntu are nothing whatsoever to do 
with the user details used by ZendTo. That is all set by 
/opt/zendto/bin/adduser.php.

You are running the script as root aren't you?

If you are using SQLite (as opposed to MySQL) then have you checked that 
Apache can read the /var/zendto/zendto.sqlite file?

/var/zendto/zendto.sqlite if you are using SQLite. If you are using 
MySQL then you need to read the appropriate readme file in 
/opt/zendto/sql and follow the instructions to setup your MySQL database 
for ZendTo.

No there isn't, sorry.

Jules.
