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 At the time of this writing (2000-09-27) you must use the same username and password in phpGroupWare that you use to log into your mail server. If you change your password and it still isn't working, try logging out of phpGroupWare (the rightmost icon in the navigation bar) and then log back in. An preference page to edit the email settings is being developed, and should appear shortly after the first beta release. 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. 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 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
