[Serusers] SERWeb for 0.8.12

Hi,

I'm just getting started with SER and SERWeb on a FreeBSD 5.1 system.
The SER install went smoothly (compiled from source) and the database 
seemed to go in fine.  Once SER was in place I went looking for serweb 
but there wasn't a package for 'latest' yet (that I could find).

I tried the serweb package from 0.8.11 and ran into some problems (I 
just grabbed serweb from CVS and it seems to be the same).

1) in config.php (and a few other places I'm now forgetting) the user 
pages path is set (or hard-coded) to /user/, however the included 
directory is user_interface/
(e.g. $this->user_pages_path = $this->root_path."user/";, as well as the 
reg and confirmation URLs)
That was easy enough to fix, however it was somewhat concerning.

2) After submitting a request for an account and following the emailed 
URL, I've consistently gotten errors.  They seem to point at the 
database, but reinit'ing it did not help.
The errors were:
- error in SQL query, line: 43 (from the confirmation.php page)
- Something to do with aliases (cannot currently generate the error) 
like use save("aliases") or update("aliases) in config script before using.

The second error seems to be a problem, as the account is added, but 
without the requested phone number aliased. (there don't seem to be any 
aliases).

3) I consistently get a 404 not found when trying to IM any of the users 
on the system - is this also related to the lack of/problem with aliases?

Aside from these errors, I was able to register with two Cisco 7960s 
using the requested and confirmed accounts (not yet able to test 
calling, although without the aliases I assume it would fail) as well as 
modify account parameters from serweb.

Is there a specific release of serweb that should be used with 0.8.12, 
or one that is "least buggy"?

Thank you,
	~Aaron
