I've used BugZilla in the past for project management. Although it could 
certainly be better tuned for the purpose, it actually does a decent job 
at managing projects using XP style methodologies, like SCRUM.

I haven't had a need for one of these tools in a while, so I haven't 
evaluated the tools below beyond checking out their web sites, but they 
may be of interest. In addition to PHProjekt and dotproject, that have 
already been mentioned:

GForge (GPL, PHP, MySQL)
http://gforge.org/

NetOffice (GPL, PHP, MySQL)
http://netoffice.sourceforge.net/

XPlanner - XP planning tool (GPL, Java/Struts, MySQL)
http://www.xplanner.org/


XPlanner looks quite promising. I also had bookmarked a couple of tools 
that are more narrowly focused:

Project Logger: Project Collaboration via Blogs (GPL, PHP, MySQL)
http://projlogger.sourceforge.net/

ProjectForum: Professional Wiki Software (free version, not open source)
http://www.projectforum.com/pf/wiki.html


I'll be curious to hear what you end up using.

Unfortunately it's hard to find web based tools that aren't PHP these 
days. :-)
