<title>Patched Branches in CVS</Title>
<para>
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 0.9.12 as an example you would do the following:
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 the files dir under the phpgroupware dir. You will need to give the webserver account owndership of this directory.
<userinput># chown nobody:nobody files</userinput> (note: this assumes your webserver runs as user nobody, adjust for your installation)
<userinput># chmod 700 files</userinput>
</literallayout></blockquote>
<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.
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.

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.

Most values for the header setup can be left as the default, be sure to enter a password for header admin, and change the password for your DB, and for configuration.

<title>Installing additional applications</Title>
<para>
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may want to download and install additional applications.
</para>
<para>
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)
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application: (see [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps] for more applications)
</para>
<para>
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the source with cvs with
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
