Installation and Configuration of phpGroupWare has never
|
|
been easier. Just point and click, yeah it's very easy.

Since this is still a beta version we do expect some bugs.
|

By carefully reading this document you can easly install

phpGroupWare.

<title>Requirements</Title>

<para>

|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In order to check if you have php installed create the file
|
|
with your favorite text editor named test.php in your webserver
|
|
root directory:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<? phpinfo(); ?>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Then point your browser to http://yourserverroot/test.php.
|
|
You should get a very detailed page describing various options
|
|
in php.

<title>Setting File Permissions</Title>

<para>
|

There are a few directories which will need special file permissions set for phpGroupWare to work properly.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

</para>

<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.
