<H2>5.1 I get "Unable to open mailbox" when using the email application</H2>
|

<P>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)

<H2>5.2 It seems to hang when I try to read my mail</H2>
|

|

<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.

if you expect to have more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.

<H2>5.3 When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page</H2>
|

|

<p>
|
||||
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running,
|

you may want to download and install additional applications.
|
||||
|
||||
You should consult any <tt>README</tt> or <tt>INSTALL</tt>
|
||||
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 <tt>lang.sql</tt>)
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this is the process to install the
|
||||
Headlines application (see <url url="http://sourceforge.net/phpgwapps/"> for
|
||||
more on this and other applications).
|
||||
<itemize>

|
||||
<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.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
<code>
|
||||
set_time_limit(0);
|
||||
</code>
|
||||
to the top of the inc/phpgwapi/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just before
|
||||
the line <verb>class msg extends msg_common</verb>
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page
|
||||
<P>If you are using Apache, this often means you need to add
|
||||
<tt>.php</tt> to the <tt>DirectoryIndex</tt> line in your httpd.conf file.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
<code>
|
||||
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi
|
||||
</code>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<sect1>I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare URL
|
||||
<P>This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map <tt>.php</tt> to the PHP engine.
|
||||
|
||||
For PHP3:
|
||||
<code>
|
||||
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
|
||||
</code>
|
||||
For PHP4:
|

Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may
|
||||
want to download and install additional applications.
|
||||
|
||||
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)
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application
|
||||
(see <http://sourceforge.net/phpgwapps/> for more on this and other
|
||||
applications).
|
||||
|
||||
+o Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the
|
||||
source with cvs with
|
||||
|
||||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwapps'
|
||||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
cvs co headlines
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
+o Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
+o Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to the
|
||||
Administration page.
|
||||
|
||||
+o In the first section, choose the Applications link
|
||||
|
||||
+o Click on add, and fill in the form.

|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
+o 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.
|
||||
|

+o 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.

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
