Hi All,

Ok, I have resolved the problem! Interestingly from the index.phtml page I
was still unable to get any info even
after setting the display errors options as suggested by Brady. I tried
connecting direct to some other random
..phtml files included in the CDRTool app and I started getting errors
regarding missing files. The solution turned
out that there were many "pear" module dependencies that weren't mentioned
in the installation and requirements
documents for CDRTool (which simply stated PHP was required). Anyway I added
the modules one by one
depending on the error message I was seeing and now I can connect to the
index.phtml page too.

Thanks to those who replied,

cheers Andy.
