Installation: webadmin broken, missing session_vars.php

Hi list

After several installation attempts on a Debian 3.1 box and
a day of
googling it seems to me that the debian installation
packages from
kolab.org are missing at least one file (session_vars.php)
and are not
properly completing webserver configuration.

What did I do? At first I downloaded all RPM packages from
ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/kolab/server/release/kolab-serv
er-2.0.4/ix86-debian3.1/
(also tried 2.0.3, 2.1beta2), then proceeded just like
advised in the
1st.README. Installation went just fine, created some SSL
certificates,
finally I got kindly asked to visit
https://$myhost.$tld/admin/.

Guess what? Right, went there, got "Connection
refused". After a some
quick checks it showed up that the apache webserver only
listened on
127.0.0.1:80. Investigating /kolab/etc/apache/apache.conf it
seemed to
me that the whole file looked somewhat... unconfigured,
including a
hostname like purple1.rgb :-/ I changed the appropiate
VirtualHost stuff
and restarted the webserver (/kolab/bin/openpkg rc apache
stop/start).

Now I finally could connect to the webserver, only to be
presented the
apache-ssl default page, no /admin/ available. A few
minutes/hours later
I found the location of the admin interface
(/kolab/var/kolab/www and
/kolab/var/kolab/php), reconfigured apache, restarted -
tadaaa! Blank
screen, how annoying :-/ A quick peek into the apache
error.log revealed
the missing session_vars.php which I could not find in any
RPM package.

I'm stuck! What is this?! Please help, I am neither dumb
nor lazy but I
am growing more and more tired...

BIG thanks in advance for any help,
Jan

P.S.: Did I tell you about the kolab proftp which I just
cannot
stop/kill? Maybe another time, my server box is rebooting to
get rid of
the process...
