phpGroupWare is a web based groupware application that includes
|
||
integrated features such as email, calendar, todo list, address book,
|
||
file manager, headline news, and a trouble ticket system.
|
||
|
||
It should run on all systems where PHP is avalible and currently
|
||
supports MySQL and PostgreSQL.

|
||
|
||
|
||
You should use it if:
|
||
|
||
You would like a powerful groupware system that can be access from
|
||
anywhere on the Internet. For companies with a distributed user base,
|
||
it's an ideal solution. Oh, and did I mention that its FREE?

|
||
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 prefered. 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.
|
||
|
||
22..22.. TTeesstteedd SSyysstteemmss

On Linux 2.2.x
|
||
|
||
+o PHP 3.0.15+ / PHP 4.0.x
|
||
|
||
+o Apache 1.3.x
|
||
|
||
+o MySQL 3.22.25 or PostgreSQL 7.0.x
|
||
|
||
+o Courier-IMAP 0.33+
|
||
|
||
We have reports of it working on Windows NT and OS/2.

|
||
|
||
After you have met the system requirements, unpack the tarball in the
|
||
html directory of your webserver. (eg, /home/httpd/html)
|
||
|
||
The first step is to setup the database and create the tables needed.
|
||
In the doc directory there is a file called create_tables.(name of
|
||
your database)
|
||
|
||
22..33..11.. IInnssttaallllaattiioonn wwiitthh MMyySSQQLL
|
||
|
||
We will assume that you are using the database named phpgroupware.
|
||
|
||
$ mysql phpgroupware -u username -p < create_tables.mysql Then add the
|
||
language entries (used for translation purposes).
|
||
|
||
$ mysql phpgroupware -u username -p < lang.sql
|
||
|
||

|
||
We will assume that you are using the database named phpgroupware.
|
||
|
||
$ psql -d phpgroupware -U username < create_tables.pgsql Then add the
|
||
language entries (used for translation purposes).
|
||
|
||
$ psql -d phpgroupware -U username < lang.sql

||

|
||
|
||
Change to the inc directory.
|
||
Edit globalconfig.inc.php to reflect your system settings.
|
||
|
||
If you are using the email system you will need to create a temporary
|
||
directory where file uploads will be stored. For security reasons,
|
||
you should chown nobody.nobody and chmod 700 to that directory.
|
||
Depending on your system configuration. Default installs of Apache
|
||
normally run as the user nobody. You may need your system
|
||
administrator to do this for you if you do not have root access.
|
||
|
||
If you do not have access to root, create this file and run it.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<?php
|
||
if (mkdir("/path/to/temp/directory",0700)) {
|
||
echo "Directory created successfully";
|
||
} else {
|
||
echo "Error creating directory";
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you have access to cron, you may want to setup the files in the
|
||
cron directory.
|
||
|
||
stalesessions.pl - There are 2 reasons for this file.
|
||
|
||
+o Users always forget to logout. This way the session doesn't sit
|
||
around forever, creating a possible security risk.
|
||
|
||
+o The email system requires plain text passwords which are stored in
|
||
the sessions table.
|
||
|
||
This file is not required, you can simply disable cron_apps in the
|
||
admin -> applications section to clean out the sessions table durring
|
||
login and logout.
|
||
|
||
stale_uploads.pl - This will delete file attachments for messages that
|
||
where not completed. If a users browser crashes, internet connection
|
||
dies, etc, their files will sit there forever unless deleted. You
|
||
could add a few lines to logout.php that will look in the temp
|
||
directory for any stale uploads and delete them. But, once again, it
|
||
becomes a performance issue.
|
||
|
||
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 and delete
|
||
the old one.
