[OA] Student Enrolment & Withdrawal Problem

[Les Richardson]

Hi,

As you can see from the log file, sentry0.pl can't locate the global.conf 
file.

In the /etc/admin.conf configuration file, there is a variable called 
$globdir = 'path_to_global'. The path must point to the directory in which 
the global.conf file is located. Typically this is '/schools/global' since 
I tend to install all schools on the server in /schools (which may also be 
a symbolic link to '/opt/schools')

HTH,

Les
