<h2>Dedication </h2>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h2><a name="tth_sEc1">
|
||
1</a> What is phpGroupWare </h2>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h2><a name="tth_sEc2">
|
||
2</a> Why you should use it </h2>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h2><a name="tth_sEc3">
|
||
3</a> Installation</h2>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc3.1">
|
||
3.1</a> Requirements </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc3.2">
|
||
3.2</a> Tested Systems </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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.

<h2><a name="tth_sEc4">
|
||
4</a> Obtaining and Installing phpGroupWare </h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
After you have met the system requirements, You can install it from
|
||
the TarBall or you can get it directly from CVS.
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.1">
|
||
4.1</a> Installing from TarBall </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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 <em>website</em>
|
||
(<a href="http://www.phpgroupware.org/downloads.php"><tt>http://www.phpgroupware.org/downloads.php</tt></a>).
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.2">
|
||
4.2</a> Installing from CVS </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
cd /home/httpd/html
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
|
||
login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
|
||
co phpgroupware
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
or if you prefer using CVSROOT:
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware'
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
cvs co phpgroupware
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.3">
|
||
4.3</a> Setting File Permissions </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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
|
||
|
||
<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.

||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.5">
|
||
4.5</a> Setup / Configure phpGroupWare </h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Point your browser to 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 alpha database
|
||
before running the setup script to avoid problems!
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.6">
|
||
4.6</a> Testing the install </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.7">
|
||
4.7</a> Installing additional applications </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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 <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps"><tt>http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps</tt></a> 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</a> Trouble Shooting</h2>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
<EFBFBD>The phpGroupWare developers can most often be seen hanging out in
|
||
<em>#phpGroupWare</em> on <em>irc.openprojects.net</em> 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>
|
||
<h3><a name="tth_sEc5.1">
|
||
5.1</a> It seems to hang when I try to read my mail </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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.

<h3><a name="tth_sEc5.2">
|
||
5.2</a> When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page </h3>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|

<h3><a name="tth_sEc5.3">
|
||
5.3</a> I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare
|
||
URL </h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map
|
||
.php to the PHP engine. For PHP3:
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
For PHP4:
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php
