According to the readme file, it says :-

All manuals and user guide on GeneoTree Homepage

except there isn't. Well, I couldn't find it! That means that it's already annoying me and as I have little patience for such things, means I'm likely to delete it!

But if I try once more, by going to localhost/geneotree, I get an error 404 followed by this :- Apache/2.4.7 (Mageia) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.8

So I'm assuming that Apache is installed and working ok.

So it's a web app - you'd probably have to put it as a subdirectory of /var/www or similar, and you may have to configure apache to run it too. It won't work in /home/chris/geneotree unless you configure it to.

I have sucessfully installed Geneweb - an apache app that works... but.....

All this, just so I can read a gedcom file for a family member. I think I'll just search google for something that does work!

I've installed and used Gramps. It'll probably do what you want. It's not a web app, it's a normal app.

Hope that helps!
