Topic: Install Personi Office Groupware

[Jacob]

Hi,
I'm wondering have anyone tried installing Personi Office (personi.com)?

It looks like a very interesting groupware. This is the only thing I need in
SME 5.1.2 to make it a complete solution...

Can anyone help??

Best regards
Jacob

Had a quick look

Did have it running just moved the files from the /home/https folders into an Ibay call personi

[Rick]

Looks good indeed. Just move the whole thing to an ibay. Change some permissions and it works....

[Eh]

For those of us who are newbie to linux can any of you guys tell us how to install this with some details, how you changed the permissions and how  to put it in an I-Bay and how do you access this in your browser?

Thanks,
Eh.

And for those of use who are really, really green, also detail information such as the www user, document root and all other related info required for the configuration files. In other words, a step by step how-to would be greatly appreciated.

I gave up installing personi to an ibay. I was able to install it to the primary. Here's what I've done:

1. Install with rpm command:
#rpm -Uhv PersonIOffice-1.x-x.i386.rpm

2. Modify ownership:
# cd /home/httpd/html
# chown -R www:shared ./personi
# cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin
# chown -R www:shared ./personi

3. Move files to the primary ibay:
# cd /home/httpd/html
# tar cf - ./personi | ( cd /home/e-smith/files/primary/html ; tar xf -)
# rm -rf ./personi
# cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin
# tar cf - ./personi | ( cd /home/e-smith/files/primary/cgi-bin ; tar xf -)
# rm -rf ./personi

4. Open http://www.yourdomain.xxx/cgi-bin/personi.cgi  and log in as user "Administrator" with password "personi"

It's a nice groupware application, a lot clearer than PHProjekt we've been using.
The only thing that does not work for me is the e-mail download function. It returns html 500 error (Server Error). It would be nice if someone was able to figure this one out.

[Eh]

Tried this step by step and it did not work.  I get page cannot be found.
Please help.
 Thanks,
Eh.

@ Eh

in the step by step you have to add in the section for the directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin two other lines for working properly

# tar cf - personi.cgi | (cd /home/e-smith/files/primary/cgi-bin ; tar xf -)
# rm -rf personi.cgi

Thanks a lot guys...

I've managed to set-up Personi...with all your help...thanks again...

About the e-mail download error....seems that the error only happens if maybe more than 10 mails to be download and size also big ... if the mails are few and size small, It can download without error....

Thanks and Regards
Bala

[Eh]

Hey Bala,
can you help me with a step by step, tried the others and it did not work?
HELP.

Thanks,
Eh.

@ Eh

Just follow ...Author: tibor commands
then follow the commands of Author: René.

By right it should work when you access any PC that already can access the e-smith server.

On the PC ..Open "http://your-server-domain/cgi-bin/personi.cgi" and log in as user "Administrator" with password "personi"

I followed all instructions as per Tibor and Rene' and thanks you guy for the effort. When I try to open the http://xxx.domainname.com/cgi-bin/personi.cgi I get this

Error:04
 
 Can not open this file. ::
"/home/e-smith/files/primary/html/personi/login/index.html"

And this is what I did;

Installed under SME 512 w/update_1

1.Install with rpm command:
#rpm -Uhv PersonIOffice-1.x-x.i386.rpm

2. Modify ownership:
# cd /home/httpd/html
# chown -R www:shared ./personi
# cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin
# chown -R www:shared ./personi

3. Move files to the primary ibay:
# cd /home/httpd/html
# tar cf - ./personi | ( cd /home/e-smith/files/primary/html ; tar xf -)
# rm -rf ./personi
# cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin
# tar cf - ./personi | ( cd /home/e-smith/files/primary/cgi-bin ; tar xf -)
# rm -rf ./personi
# tar cf - personi.cgi | (cd /home/e-smith/files/primary/cgi-bin ; tar xf -)
# rm -rf personi.cgi

Cheers

[EH]

Well I finally got it to work by following jc's step by step.
The only problem is I cannot login to it. I have tried every username and password.
I even tried administrator and password personi as tibor said in his steps.
But I cannot get in.

Help,
Eh.

[EH]

Hey folks my mistake, I should have used uppercase on the Administrator.

Sorry,
Eh.
