|
|
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity, but it is required for several apps to function properly.

|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
<programlisting>
