I am trying to run the SetPermissions.sh file to run the Package Manager. I ran it with the otrs wwrun parameter, didn't work, I tried to run it with otrs nobody and it didn't give errors but didn't allow access to package manager either, and also I tried to use administrator nobody and again no errors but no access. I am currently running on the administrator account on a Ubuntu machine.

Hi eric,
On Ubuntu, apache is running under the www-data account, so you should
use that with the SetPermissions script.
hth,

Ok thank you, I got passed the permission part but now I ran into yet another hurdle :-(. When I try to go into packet manager I get the following error.

Sorry if I am just not seeing something right. I looked at that bug and located the file and located the snipet they were talking about, just the bug report doesn't clearify what to do with it, I tried deleting the IFmodule statements and that didn't work so I put them back in, then I tried to delete the # infront of the one statement, because I think the # comments it out. And that didn't work either, what am I doing wrong?

Eric,
Sorry for top posting - here is what I did on my Ubuntu system and it fixed
the problem. Notice the lines I commented out. I then reloaded apache2 and
everything worked fine.

# added for OTRS (http://otrs.org/)
# $Id: apache2-httpd-new.include.conf,v 1.5 2008/11/10 11:08:55 ub Exp $

# agent, admin and customer frontend
ScriptAlias /otrs/ "/usr/share/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/"

# if mod_perl is used

# load all otrs modules
