I'm having a little trouble getting www-apps/online-bookmarks set up.

Near as I can tell there is literally no help installed when you
install this package.... A few readmes with a URL to an online help
site:
http://www.frech.ch/online-bookmarks/installation.php

However, I'm not seeing the behavior described there and it appears
there is no other resource for getting started.

You are told to aim your browser at:
http://www.yourserver.com/online-bookmarks/

When I fill in my server I see a listing like one might see in a file
browser.

The online site claims it will be linked to an install process but
that is true here.

Its a file listing of a bunch of php files but opening the install.php
does not lead to anything usefull... Instead you see a php text file
that doesn't really work as described.

I'm guessing something in the my php setup/config is not done right.

However I've done no config of php. I just installed the
online-bookmarks/ which pulled in php stuff. I didn't see messages
about configuring it.

Anyone here using this package that can provide a few tips?

Haven't used online-bookmarks before myself, but it soulds like Apache
isn't configured properly for PHP scripts - try *adding* the following
to your /etc/conf.d/apache2 file in the APACHE2_OPTS line (inside the
double-quotes):
-D PHP -D PHP5

and then do:
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop && /etc/init.d/apache2 start
(I've found that sometimes a "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" tries to
start the apache2 processes again before the old processes have fully
closed out, so will sometimes error out...)

You may have to emerge php with the "apache2" USE flag if it still doesn't
work.
