Topic: [HOW TO] Install eGroupWare on SME 7.x

[wifinetguy]

And now I can't get to my /server-manager. It says it doesn't exist.

[wifinetguy]

I've done a new, fresh install of SME Server 7.1. Then did a reinstall of the script here. My problem ended up being the absense of the blank lines in the two files for redirection.

All is fine now.

Did you tried https ?

I still can't get it to work, but I seem to be the only one with this problem... Anybody any idea? Thanks!

[wifinetguy]

No, you're not the only one. I can't get to my egroupware page via https:. I get the error that says that Firefox can't establish a connection to the server. Safari gives me the same error. However, I can get in via the local IP address (https://192.168.xx.xxx/egroupware). But I can't get it to work via the FQDN.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

*** Edit *** - Never mind. Stupid mistake. I hadn't forwarded port 443 through my firewall. Sorry for the boneheaded post.

No, I meant: I seem to be the only one who cannot install this program. But I'll keep trying...

Hi,
I did a fresh install of SME7.1 and then immediately an upgrade to SME7.1.2.
After the first screen of egroupware's initialisation (NEXT), I have an empty screen ...
(Yes, I did a correct copy and past of the template - with blank line).

I notice this :
- with this fresh SME7.1.2, I cannot acces to the internet with firefox without manually configuration of the SME proxy,
- it is only during the second stage of the egroupware's initialisation that I'll the name and port of the SME proxy ... and I cannot acces thos step.

Do you thing it could it be a proxy issue ?

I think I succesfully installed egroupware application following the howto. My problem is that when I try to login to "Setup/Config Admin Login" using the username and password I have created I cannot able to login. It keeps coming back to login page. The strange thing that I noticed is that below "Setup/Config Admin Login" there was a message saying "Invalid IP address"

Can anyone please help me what was I did wrong or setting to configure? I am using SME 7.1.2

thanks so much..

You have probably specified (ie limited access to) the setup page to only your local network IP or domain or a wrong IP/domain under the setting for
Limit access to setup to the following addresses, networks or hostnames

You can remove that from the config database for egroupware using phpmyadmin or rerun the install.

It's best left blank initially, you can add an IP there later after initial config is completed.

tnx man  I think you solve my problem. I'll try this solution.

I've installed SME7.0 and smeserver-phpmyadmin-multiuser-2.0-3.noarch.rpm.  Also, I've installed eGRoupware with a seperated ibay

Code: [Select]

Name=egroupware    
Group: Everyone
User access: Write = group, Read = group
Public access : Entire Internet (no password required)
Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI)=enabled
I've inputted following commands to make the egroupware work.

Code: [Select]

mkdir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/egroupware/files/tmp
mkdir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/egroupware/files/backup
chown www:www /home/e-smith/files/ibays/egroupware/files/tmp
chown www:www /home/e-smith/files/ibays/egroupware/files/backup
chown -R www:www /home/e-smith/files/ibays/egroupware/html/fudforum
mkdir –p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
A new file "/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/30mbstring" contain following parameter

Code: [Select]

mbstring.func_overload = 7
Also, .....following command,

Code: [Select]

pear install log
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop egroupware PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/egroupware/:/usr/share/pear-addons:/usr/share/pear/:/tmp
signal-event ibay-modify egroupware

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini
service httpd-e-smith restart
After the setup, my eGroupware work well.  However, after I installed eGroupware, it responed "#1045 - Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
" when I login phpmyadmin and cannot find the webpage of webmail again.

I've tried many many time, and have some fresh re-installation.  Can you help, please.

Hi !

Cola29, I did this howto because it's not secure to put web apps like eGroupWare in an ibay. Especially if you do this :

Name=egroupware    
Group: Everyone
User access: Write = group, Read = group
Public access : Entire Internet (no password required)

Just download the files and launch the script, follow the setup howto also... This has been tested and it's working fine. Read the entire post, it's full of problems/solutions. Take care of web-setup process, follow the howto... If you want to customize the config, please do it after finishing the 1st run.



About the custom template you created :

mbstring.func_overload = 7

This is globally activated and there is no need to do so ! It just need to be set for egroupware's ibay (if you still want to use the ibay install). phpMyAdmin have problem with that. Look here for more infos (search for mbstring in the page)

Hi! cool34000

Thanks for your reply.  However, when I type "sh egroupware.sh", somethign seems go wrong.  Can you help, please?

Code: [Select]

[root@server ~]# sh egroupware.sh
: command not found 2:
: command not found 3:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation of eGroupWare (public access, automatic https redirection)...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
: command not found 7:
: command not found 8:
: command not found 10:
: command not found 11:
Generating password...
egroupware.sh: line 98: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Cola29, I have the same problem too using the zip that I downloaded. I don't know what was the problem with that script. What I did is that I copy paste from the howto but be aware of the space at each line, just remove the space and you will be fine.

Hi !

Has anyone got more luck than me with the ability to sync SME's LDAP accounts with eGroupWare ?

Reading the doc and some posts on their forum point me to that direction :

Code: [Select]

cp -f /opt/egroupware/html/phpgwapi/doc/ldap/phpgwaccount.schema /etc/openldap/schema/
cp -f /opt/egroupware/html/phpgwapi/doc/ldap/phpgwcontact.schema /etc/openldap/schema/
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
cp -f /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/10schema /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/
echo "include         /etc/openldap/schema/phpgwaccount.schema" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/10schema
echo "include         /etc/openldap/schema/phpgwcontact.schema" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/10schema
echo >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/10schema
expand-template /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
service ldap restart

Now I'm locked and don't really know what to do next... Is this good enough to work -> so I'm just messing up the install stage
Or is there more things to be done before syncing LDAP on eGroupWare ?

Thanks for any help !
