Dedication </A>
</H1>
<P>
Thanks to Joesph Engo for starting phpGroupWare (at the time called
webdistro) and the core of this HOWTO. Thanks to all the developers
and users who contribute to making phpGroupWare such a success.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00030000000000000000">
1 What is phpGroupWare </A>
</H1>
<P>
phpGroupWare is a web based GroupWare system. It comes with serveral
core apps for email, calendar, todo list, address book, file manager,
and a notepad.
<P>
It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate
seamlessly in phpGroupWare. Some samples are a bookmark manager, a
trouble ticket system, a weather reporter, a phone log, a chat program,
and a forum system. There are many more in development, and you can
develop your own as well.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00040000000000000000">
2 Why you should use it </A>
</H1>
<P>
You should use it if you would like a powerful groupware system that
can be access from anywhere on the Internet, and allows for custom
add-ons. For companies with a distributed user base, it's an ideal
solution. Oh, and did I mention that its FREE?
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00050000000000000000">
3 Installation</A>
</H1>
<P>
Installation and Configuration of phpGroupWare has never been easier.
Just point and click, yeah it's very easy.
<P>
Since this is still a beta version we do expect some bugs. By carefully
reading this document you can easly install phpGroupWare.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00051000000000000000">
3.1 Requirements </A>
</H2>
<P>
You will need PHP compiled and installed on your system. You will
also need MySQL or PostgreSQL setup. If you are planning on using
the email system, you will need to have an IMAP server installed and
IMAP support compiled into PHP. You can have it installed as an Apache
module or command line version, the Apache module is preferred. We
will assume that you are running on a Linux or other Unix system for
these steps. Windows is supported, but there is no documentation for
it currently.
<P>
In order to check if you have php installed create the file with your
favorite text editor named test.php in your webserver root directory:
<P>
<TT>&lt;? phpinfo(); ?&gt;</TT>
<P>
Then point your browser to http://yourserverroot/test.php. You should
get a very detailed page describing various options in php.
<P>
If you need to to compile php and apache the following links are good
starting points:
<P>
A set of scripts to compile and install various modules with apache:
http://www.apachetoolbox.com
<P>
The Linux Apache MySQL PHP (LAMP) Guide v2 (latest as of this writing):
http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/
<P>
The Soothing Seemless Setup of Apache, SSL, MySQL, and PHP: http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00052000000000000000">
3.2 Tested Systems </A>
</H2>
<P>
On Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x
<P>
PHP 3.0.15+ / PHP 4.0.x
<P>
Apache 1.3.x
<P>
MySQL 3.22.25 or PostgreSQL 7.0.x
<P>
Courier-IMAP 0.33+ and/or qmail 1.03 for POP3 access
<P>
We have reports of it working on Windows NT and OS/2, and using Oracle
as the database.

4 Obtaining and Installing phpGroupWare </A>
</H1>
<P>
After you have met the system requirements, You can install it from
the TarBall or you can get it directly from CVS.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00061000000000000000">
4.1 Installing from TarBall </A>
</H2>
<P>
Installing from a TarBall is very easy. The files should be installed
in the webserver directory. Example steps (please adjust to your servers
config):
<P>
cp phpgroupware-version.tar.gz /home/httpd/html
<P>
cd /home/httpd/html
<P>
tar zxf phpgroupware-version.tar.gz
<P>
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact your
system administrator if you dont have the permission to write to your
webserver directory.
<P>
You can get current releases of phpGroupWare at the phpGroupware <I>website</I>
(http://www.phpgroupware.org/downloads.php).
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00062000000000000000">
4.2 Installing from CVS </A>
</H2>
<P>
Installing from a CVS is fairly easy. The files should be checked
out in the webserver directory. Example steps (please adjust to your
servers config):
<P>
<UL>
<LI>cd /home/httpd/html
</LI>
<LI>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
</LI>
<LI>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
co phpgroupware
</LI>
</UL>
or if you prefer using CVSROOT:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware'
</LI>
<LI>cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
</LI>
<LI>cvs co phpgroupware
</LI>
</UL>
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact your
system administrator if you dont have the permission to write to your
webserver directory.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="SECTION00062100000000000000">
4.2.1 Patched Branches in CVS</A>
</H3>
<P>
Recently the phpGroupWare developers started a branch for patches
to released versions. This is to facilitate bugs being fixed in a
released version without having to wait for the next offical release.
There is a developer who has been assigned the responsibility for
maintaining that branch and applying patches and fixes. To check out
this version of the code using 0.9.9 as an example you would do the
following:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>login to cvs anonymously as described above
</LI>
<LI>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
-r Version-0_9_9-patches phpgroupware
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00063000000000000000">
4.3 Setting File Permissions </A>
</H2>
<P>
There are a few directories which will need special fie permissions
set for phpGroupWare to work properly.
<P>
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity, but it
is required for several apps to function properly. Simply make sure
that the webserver can add/delete files in it.
<P>
Files Directory (Required) - This can be should be the files dir under
the phpgroupware dir. You will need to give the webserver account
owndership of this directory.
<P>
chown nobody:nobody (note: this assumes your webserver runs as user
nobody, adjust for your installation)
<P>
chmod 700 /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware/files
<P>
Root Directory (Not recommended) - If you give the webserver account
write access to the phpgroupware directory, then the setup program
can create the header.inc.php for you. Otherwise you will need to
use the setup program to create it, and then you can manually save
it to file.
<P>
If you want to do it:
<P>
chown :nobody /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware
<P>
chmod 770
<P>
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact your
system administrator if you dont have the permission to write to your
webserver directory.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00064000000000000000">
4.4 Setup the database</A>
</H2>
<P>
You need to create empty databases for the setup app to create the
tables in.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="SECTION00064100000000000000">
4.4.1 Mysql (assuming an existing and working Mysql install)</A>
</H3>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Mandrake or Redhat: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
</LI>
<LI>other: /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &amp;
</LI>
<LI>create the empty database: mysqldadmin -u someuser create phpgroupware

4.4.2 Postgresql (assuming an existing and working Postgresql install)</A>
</H3>
<P>
To create the required database in Postgresql make sure postgresql
is started:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Mandrake or Redhat : /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
</LI>
<LI>others: /usr/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data or /usr/bin/pg_ctl

: http://www.postgresql.org
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00065000000000000000">
4.5 Setup / Configure phpGroupWare </A>
</H2>
<P>
Point your browser to http://yourserverroot/phpgroupware/setup/ which
will create (or upgrade) the header.inc.php and database tables. Setup
will attempt to determine what version of the phpGroupWare databases
and header.inc.php you have installed, and upgrade to the most recent
version.
<P>
<B>Note:</B> You are advised to backup your existing database before
running the setup script to avoid problems!
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00066000000000000000">
4.6 Testing the install </A>
</H2>
<P>
If your config is setup properly you can now login. Point your browser
to the installed location and login with the username demo and the
password is 1234
<P>
At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user with administrative
privileges and delete the old one.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00067000000000000000">
4.7 Installing additional applications </A>
</H2>
<P>
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may
want to download and install additional applications.
<P>
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come with the
new application first, as most require you to create additional tables
in the database, and add additional translation data to the lang table
(typically a file called lang.sql)
<P>
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install tree
by copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare install
location, and enabling the application through the Administration
page.
<P>
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application:
<P>
(see http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps for more
applications)
<P>
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the source
with cvs with
<P>
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwapps'
<P>
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
<P>
cvs co headlines
<P>
Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install directory.
<P>
Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to the Administration
page.
<P>
In the first section, choose the Applications link.
<P>
Click on add, and fill in the form.
<P>
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory
you moved into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use headlines
<P>
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other places
to refer to the new application. Enter Headlines for this example.
<P>
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users temporially.
You should normal check the box to enable the application.
<P>
Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application
for specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking the
new Headlines box that appears in the middle of the account editing
page.
<P>
Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you should
see a Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences pages,
and there should be an icon for the Headlines application in the navigation
bar.
<P>
Once you enable a few of the Headlines sites through the Administration
page link, you should see headlines grabbed from the sites you selected
when you click on the Headlines icon in the navigation bar.

5 Trouble Shooting</A>
</H1>
<P>
<B>Warning </B>
<P>
phpGroupWare is still Beta software, expect some bugs along the way.
If you run into a problem not discussed here, contact us through one
of the methods listed on the website.
<P>
 The phpGroupWare developers can most often be seen hanging out in
<I>#phpGroupWare</I> on <I>irc.openprojects.net</I> if you require
real-time help.
<P>
Also check the FAQ in this directory for additional common questions,
it is available as FAQ.sgml, FAQ.txt and FAQ.html
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00071000000000000000">
5.1 It seems to hang when I try to read my mail </A>
</H2>
<P>
This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of IMAP, and
you have more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.
<P>
By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes over 30
seconds to complete. phpGroupWare must do a lot of work the first
time your POP3 mailbox is opened, and every time you get new mail,
which may take more than the 30 second timeout.
<P>
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program, or
add the line
<P>
set_time_limit(0);
<P>
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just
before the line class msg extends msg_common
<P>
If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a large POP3
mailbox - the author tested against a mailbox with 2500 messages in
it, but it took 15 minutes to load the page. We highly suggest you
use IMAP if you expect to have more than a few hundred messages in
your mailbox.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00072000000000000000">
5.2 When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page </A>
</H2>
<P>
You are using Apache, this often means you need to add .php to the
DirectoryIndex line in your httpd.conf file. For example:
<P>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi
<P>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION00073000000000000000">
5.3 I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare

This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map
.php to the PHP engine. For PHP3:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
<P>
For PHP4:
<P>

Dedication
\layout Standard
Thanks to Joesph Engo for starting phpGroupWare (at the time called webdistro)
and the core of this HOWTO.
Thanks to all the developers and users who contribute to making phpGroupWare
such a success.
\layout Section
What is phpGroupWare
\layout Standard
phpGroupWare is a web based GroupWare system.
It comes with serveral core apps for email, calendar, todo list, address
book, file manager, and a notepad.
\layout Standard
It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate seamlessly
in phpGroupWare.
Some samples are a bookmark manager, a trouble ticket system, a weather
reporter, a phone log, a chat program, and a forum system.
There are many more in development, and you can develop your own as well.
\layout Section
Why you should use it
\layout Standard
You should use it if you would like a powerful groupware system that can
be access from anywhere on the Internet, and allows for custom add-ons.
For companies with a distributed user base, it's an ideal solution.
Oh, and did I mention that its FREE?
\layout Section
Installation
\layout Standard
Installation and Configuration of phpGroupWare has never been easier.
Just point and click, yeah it's very easy.
\layout Standard
Since this is still a beta version we do expect some bugs.
By carefully reading this document you can easly install phpGroupWare.
\layout Subsection
Requirements
\layout Standard
You will need PHP compiled and installed on your system.
You will also need MySQL or PostgreSQL setup.
If you are planning on using the email system, you will need to have an
IMAP server installed and IMAP support compiled into PHP.
You can have it installed as an Apache module or command line version,
the Apache module is preferred.
We will assume that you are running on a Linux or other Unix system for
these steps.
Windows is supported, but there is no documentation for it currently.
\layout Standard
In order to check if you have php installed create the file with your favorite
text editor named test.php in your webserver root directory:
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
<? phpinfo(); ?>
\layout Standard
Then point your browser to http://yourserverroot/test.php.
You should get a very detailed page describing various options in php.
\layout Standard
If you need to to compile php and apache the following links are good starting
points:
\layout Standard
A set of scripts to compile and install various modules with apache:
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.apachetoolbox.com}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The Linux Apache MySQL PHP (LAMP) Guide v2 (latest as of this writing):
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The Soothing Seemless Setup of Apache, SSL, MySQL, and PHP:
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless}
\end_inset
\layout Subsection
Tested Systems
\layout Standard
On Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x
\layout Standard
PHP 3.0.15+ / PHP 4.0.x
\layout Standard
Apache 1.3.x
\layout Standard
MySQL 3.22.25 or PostgreSQL 7.0.x
\layout Standard
Courier-IMAP 0.33+ and/or qmail 1.03 for POP3 access
\layout Standard
We have reports of it working on Windows NT and OS/2, and using Oracle as
the database.
\layout Section
Obtaining and Installing phpGroupWare
\layout Standard
After you have met the system requirements, You can install it from the
TarBall or you can get it directly from CVS.
\layout Subsection
Installing from TarBall
\layout Standard
Installing from a TarBall is very easy.
The files should be installed in the webserver directory.
Example steps (please adjust to your servers config):
\layout Standard
cp phpgroupware-version.tar.gz /home/httpd/html
\layout Standard
cd /home/httpd/html
\layout Standard
tar zxf phpgroupware-version.tar.gz
\layout Standard
You may have to get required permissions to do this.
Contact your system administrator if you dont have the permission to write
to your webserver directory.
\layout Standard
You can get current releases of phpGroupWare at the phpGroupware
\emph on
website
\emph default
(
\latex latex
\backslash
url{http://www.phpgroupware.org/downloads.php}
\latex default
).
\layout Subsection
Installing from CVS
\layout Standard
Installing from a CVS is fairly easy.
The files should be checked out in the webserver directory.
Example steps (please adjust to your servers config):
\layout Itemize
cd /home/httpd/html
\layout Itemize
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
\layout Itemize
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
co phpgroupware
\layout Standard
or if you prefer using CVSROOT:
\layout Itemize
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgro
upware'
\layout Itemize
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
\layout Itemize
cvs co phpgroupware
\layout Standard
You may have to get required permissions to do this.
Contact your system administrator if you dont have the permission to write
to your webserver directory.
\layout Subsubsection
Patched Branches in CVS
\layout Standard
Recently the phpGroupWare developers started a branch for patches to released
versions.
This is to facilitate bugs being fixed in a released version without having
to wait for the next offical release.
There is a developer who has been assigned the responsibility for maintaining
that branch and applying patches and fixes.
To check out this version of the code using 0.9.9 as an example you would
do the following:
\layout Itemize
login to cvs anonymously as described above
\layout Itemize
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
-r Version-0_9_9-patches co phpgroupware
\layout Subsection
Setting File Permissions
\layout Standard
There are a few directories which will need special fie permissions set
for phpGroupWare to work properly.
\layout Standard
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity, but it is required
for several apps to function properly.
Simply make sure that the webserver can add/delete files in it.
\layout Standard
Files Directory (Required) - This can be should be the files dir under the
phpgroupware dir.
You will need to give the webserver account owndership of this directory.
\layout Standard
chown nobody:nobody (note: this assumes your webserver runs as user nobody,
adjust for your installation)
\layout Standard
chmod 700 /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware/files
\layout Standard
Root Directory (Not recommended) - If you give the webserver account write
access to the phpgroupware directory, then the setup program can create
the header.inc.php for you.
Otherwise you will need to use the setup program to create it, and then
you can manually save it to file.
\layout Standard
If you want to do it:
\layout Standard
chown :nobody /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware
\layout Standard
chmod 770
\layout Standard
You may have to get required permissions to do this.
Contact your system administrator if you dont have the permission to write
to your webserver directory.
\layout Subsection
Setup the database
\layout Standard
You need to create empty databases for the setup app to create the tables
in.
\layout Subsubsection
Mysql (assuming an existing and working Mysql install)
\layout Itemize
Mandrake or Redhat: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
\layout Itemize
other: /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &
\layout Itemize
create the empty database: mysqldadmin -u someuser create phpgroupware -p
\layout Itemize
login to mysql: mysql -u someuser -p
\layout Itemize
issue the following at the mysql prompt:
\layout Itemize
grant all on phpgroupware.* to phpgroupware@localhost identified by
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
somepassword
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
;
\layout Standard
For more detailed user documentation on Mysql see their website :
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.mysql.com}
\end_inset
\layout Subsubsection
Postgresql (assuming an existing and working Postgresql install)
\layout Standard
To create the required database in Postgresql make sure postgresql is started:
\layout Itemize
Mandrake or Redhat : /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
\layout Itemize
others: /usr/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data or /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D
/var/lib/pgsq/data start (adjust for your install dirs)
\layout Itemize
create the empty database: /usr/bin/createdb phpgroupware
\layout Itemize
create a database user: /usr/bin/createuser phpgroupware
\layout Standard
For more detailed user documentation on Postgresql see their website :
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.postgresql.org}
\end_inset
\layout Subsection
Setup / Configure phpGroupWare
\layout Standard
Point your browser to http://yourserverroot/phpgroupware/setup/ which will
create (or upgrade) the header.inc.php and database tables.
Setup will attempt to determine what version of the phpGroupWare databases
and header.inc.php you have installed, and upgrade to the most recent version.
\layout Standard
\series bold
Note:
\series default
You are advised to backup your existing database before running the setup
script to avoid problems!
\layout Subsection
Testing the install
\layout Standard
If your config is setup properly you can now login.
Point your browser to the installed location and login with the username
demo and the password is 1234
\layout Standard
At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user with administrative
privileges and delete the old one.
\layout Subsection
Installing additional applications
\layout Standard
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may want
to download and install additional applications.
\layout Standard
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come with the new applicatio
n first, as most require you to create additional tables in the database,
and add additional translation data to the lang table (typically a file
called lang.sql)
\layout Standard
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install tree by
copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare install location,
and enabling the application through the Administration page.
\layout Standard
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application:
\layout Standard
(see
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps}
\end_inset
for more applications)
\layout Standard
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the source with
cvs with
\layout Standard
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwa
pps'
\layout Standard
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
\layout Standard
cvs co headlines
\layout Standard
Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install directory.
\layout Standard
Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to the Administration
page.
\layout Standard
In the first section, choose the Applications link.
\layout Standard
Click on add, and fill in the form.
\layout Standard
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory you moved
into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use headlines
\layout Standard
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other places to refer
to the new application.
Enter Headlines for this example.
\layout Standard
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users temporially.
You should normal check the box to enable the application.
\layout Standard
Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application for
specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking the new Headlines
box that appears in the middle of the account editing page.
\layout Standard
Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you should see a
Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences pages, and there
should be an icon for the Headlines application in the navigation bar.
\layout Standard
Once you enable a few of the Headlines sites through the Administration
page link, you should see headlines grabbed from the sites you selected
when you click on the Headlines icon in the navigation bar.
\layout Section
Trouble Shooting
\layout Standard
\series bold
Warning
\layout Standard
phpGroupWare is still Beta software, expect some bugs along the way.
If you run into a problem not discussed here, contact us through one of
the methods listed on the website.
\layout Standard
 The phpGroupWare developers can most often be seen hanging out in
\emph on
#phpGroupWare
\emph default
on
\emph on
irc.openprojects.net
\emph default
if you require real-time help.
\layout Standard
Also check the FAQ in this directory for additional common questions, it
is available as FAQ.sgml, FAQ.txt and FAQ.html
\layout Subsection
It seems to hang when I try to read my mail
\layout Standard
This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of IMAP, and you have
more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.
\layout Standard
By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes over 30 seconds
to complete.
phpGroupWare must do a lot of work the first time your POP3 mailbox is
opened, and every time you get new mail, which may take more than the 30
second timeout.
\layout Standard
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program, or add the
line
\layout Standard
set_time_limit(0);
\layout Standard
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just before the
line class msg extends msg_common
\layout Standard
If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a large POP3 mailbox
- the author tested against a mailbox with 2500 messages in it, but it
took 15 minutes to load the page.
We highly suggest you use IMAP if you expect to have more than a few hundred
messages in your mailbox.
\layout Subsection
When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page
\layout Standard
You are using Apache, this often means you need to add .php to the DirectoryIndex
line in your httpd.conf file.
For example:
\layout Standard
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi
\layout Subsection
I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare URL
\layout Standard
This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map .php to
the PHP engine.
For PHP3:
\layout Standard
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
\layout Standard
For PHP4:
\layout Standard
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php

Dedication
Thanks to Joesph Engo for starting phpGroupWare (at the time
called webdistro) and the core of this HOWTO. Thanks to
all the developers and users who contribute to making phpGroupWare
such a success.
1 What is phpGroupWare
phpGroupWare is a web based GroupWare system. It comes with
serveral core apps for email, calendar, todo list, address
book, file manager, and a notepad.
It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate
seamlessly in phpGroupWare. Some samples are a bookmark
manager, a trouble ticket system, a weather reporter, a
phone log, a chat program, and a forum system. There are
many more in development, and you can develop your own as
well.
2 Why you should use it
You should use it if you would like a powerful groupware
system that can be access from anywhere on the Internet,
and allows for custom add-ons. For companies with a distributed
user base, it's an ideal solution. Oh, and did I mention
that its FREE?
3 Installation
Installation and Configuration of phpGroupWare has never
been easier. Just point and click, yeah it's very easy.
Since this is still a beta version we do expect some bugs.
By carefully reading this document you can easly install
phpGroupWare.
3.1 Requirements
You will need PHP compiled and installed on your system.
You will also need MySQL or PostgreSQL setup. If you are
planning on using the email system, you will need to have
an IMAP server installed and IMAP support compiled into
PHP. You can have it installed as an Apache module or command
line version, the Apache module is preferred. We will assume
that you are running on a Linux or other Unix system for
these steps. Windows is supported, but there is no documentation
for it currently.
In order to check if you have php installed create the file
with your favorite text editor named test.php in your webserver
root directory:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
Then point your browser to http://yourserverroot/test.php.
You should get a very detailed page describing various options
in php.
If you need to to compile php and apache the following links
are good starting points:
A set of scripts to compile and install various modules with
apache: [http://www.apachetoolbox.com]
The Linux Apache MySQL PHP (LAMP) Guide v2 (latest as of
this writing): [http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/]
The Soothing Seemless Setup of Apache, SSL, MySQL, and PHP: [http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless]
3.2 Tested Systems
On Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x
PHP 3.0.15+ / PHP 4.0.x
Apache 1.3.x
MySQL 3.22.25 or PostgreSQL 7.0.x
Courier-IMAP 0.33+ and/or qmail 1.03 for POP3 access
We have reports of it working on Windows NT and OS/2, and
using Oracle as the database.
4 Obtaining and Installing phpGroupWare
After you have met the system requirements, You can install
it from the TarBall or you can get it directly from CVS.
4.1 Installing from TarBall
Installing from a TarBall is very easy. The files should
be installed in the webserver directory. Example steps (please
adjust to your servers config):
cp phpgroupware-version.tar.gz /home/httpd/html
cd /home/httpd/html
tar zxf phpgroupware-version.tar.gz
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact
your system administrator if you dont have the permission
to write to your webserver directory.
You can get current releases of phpGroupWare at the phpGroupware
website ().
4.2 Installing from CVS
Installing from a CVS is fairly easy. The files should be
checked out in the webserver directory. Example steps (please
adjust to your servers config):
* cd /home/httpd/html
* cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
* cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
co phpgroupware
or if you prefer using CVSROOT:
* export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware'
* cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
* cvs co phpgroupware
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact
your system administrator if you dont have the permission
to write to your webserver directory.
4.2.1 Patched Branches in CVS
Recently the phpGroupWare developers started a branch for
patches to released versions. This is to facilitate bugs
being fixed in a released version without having to wait
for the next offical release. There is a developer who has
been assigned the responsibility for maintaining that branch
and applying patches and fixes. To check out this version
of the code using 0.9.9 as an example you would do the following:
* login to cvs anonymously as described above
* cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
-r Version-0_9_9-patches phpgroupware
4.3 Setting File Permissions
There are a few directories which will need special fie permissions
set for phpGroupWare to work properly.
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity,
but it is required for several apps to function properly.
Simply make sure that the webserver can add/delete files
in it.
Files Directory (Required) - This can be should be the files
dir under the phpgroupware dir. You will need to give the
webserver account owndership of this directory.
chown nobody:nobody (note: this assumes your webserver runs
as user nobody, adjust for your installation)
chmod 700 /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware/files
Root Directory (Not recommended) - If you give the webserver
account write access to the phpgroupware directory, then
the setup program can create the header.inc.php for you.
Otherwise you will need to use the setup program to create
it, and then you can manually save it to file.
If you want to do it:
chown :nobody /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware
chmod 770
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact
your system administrator if you dont have the permission
to write to your webserver directory.
4.4 Setup the database
You need to create empty databases for the setup app to create
the tables in.
4.4.1 Mysql (assuming an existing and working Mysql install)
* Mandrake or Redhat: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
* other: /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &
* create the empty database: mysqldadmin -u someuser create
phpgroupware -p
* login to mysql: mysql -u someuser -p
* issue the following at the mysql prompt:
* grant all on phpgroupware.* to phpgroupware@localhost identified
by "somepassword";
For more detailed user documentation on Mysql see their website
: [http://www.mysql.com]
4.4.2 Postgresql (assuming an existing and working Postgresql
install)
To create the required database in Postgresql make sure postgresql
is started:
* Mandrake or Redhat : /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
* others: /usr/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data or /usr/bin/pg_ctl
-D /var/lib/pgsq/data start (adjust for your install dirs)
* create the empty database: /usr/bin/createdb phpgroupware
* create a database user: /usr/bin/createuser phpgroupware
For more detailed user documentation on Postgresql see their
website : [http://www.postgresql.org]
4.5 Setup / Configure phpGroupWare
Point your browser to http://yourserverroot/phpgroupware/setup/
which will create (or upgrade) the header.inc.php and database
tables. Setup will attempt to determine what version of
the phpGroupWare databases and header.inc.php you have installed,
and upgrade to the most recent version.
Note: You are advised to backup your existing database before
running the setup script to avoid problems!
4.6 Testing the install
If your config is setup properly you can now login. Point
your browser to the installed location and login with the
username demo and the password is 1234
At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user
with administrative privileges and delete the old one.
4.7 Installing additional applications
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running,
you may want to download and install additional applications.
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come
with the new application first, as most require you to create
additional tables in the database, and add additional translation
data to the lang table (typically a file called lang.sql)
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install
tree by copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare
install location, and enabling the application through the
Administration page.
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines
application:
(see [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps]
for more applications)
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out
the source with cvs with
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwapps'
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
cvs co headlines
Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install
directory.
Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to
the Administration page.
In the first section, choose the Applications link.
Click on add, and fill in the form.
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory
you moved into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use
headlines
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other
places to refer to the new application. Enter Headlines
for this example.
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users
temporially. You should normal check the box to enable the
application.
Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application
for specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking
the new Headlines box that appears in the middle of the
account editing page.
Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you
should see a Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences
pages, and there should be an icon for the Headlines application
in the navigation bar.
Once you enable a few of the Headlines sites through the
Administration page link, you should see headlines grabbed
from the sites you selected when you click on the Headlines
icon in the navigation bar.
5 Trouble Shooting
Warning
phpGroupWare is still Beta software, expect some bugs along
the way. If you run into a problem not discussed here, contact
us through one of the methods listed on the website.
 The phpGroupWare developers can most often be seen hanging
out in #phpGroupWare on irc.openprojects.net if you require
real-time help.
Also check the FAQ in this directory for additional common
questions, it is available as FAQ.sgml, FAQ.txt and FAQ.html
5.1 It seems to hang when I try to read my mail
This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of
IMAP, and you have more than a few hundred messages in your
mailbox.
By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes
over 30 seconds to complete. phpGroupWare must do a lot
of work the first time your POP3 mailbox is opened, and
every time you get new mail, which may take more than the
30 second timeout.
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program,
or add the line
set_time_limit(0);
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file,
just before the line class msg extends msg_common
If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a
large POP3 mailbox - the author tested against a mailbox
with 2500 messages in it, but it took 15 minutes to load
the page. We highly suggest you use IMAP if you expect to
have more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.
5.2 When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a
web page
You are using Apache, this often means you need to add .php
to the DirectoryIndex line in your httpd.conf file. For
example:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm
index.cgi
5.3 I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare
URL
This is often because you have php3 installed, which does
not map .php to the PHP engine. For PHP3:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
For PHP4:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php
