Topic: Egroupware problems

[tmaleshafske]

Hello Everyone I am having to issues with Egroupware that I haven't been able to crack. I have searched far and wide and haven't found much, What I have found is been very vague. I am running SME Server 7.3 When I try to set up my image directory I get the follow error. Directory does not exist, is not readable by the webserver or is not relative to the document root! I have tried putting a directory all over my server in possible locations.  Egroupware is installed in the default location. The other issue I have is I can not get wiki to set up for me at all. Yet again I haven't found a good how to and need some help Appreciate it.

Sir,

I have checked those locations including other messages in the forums, google, egroupware documentation, forums, etc....

The installation instructions I used was from the wiki.  If you don't want to help you don't have to, but don't insult my intelligence.  I'm  new to LINUX, but know well.enough to research first.

Cordially,

tmaleshafske

If you had read this what would you have thought.  Don't matter anyways.  I would really appreciate the help if you could.

I haven't installed this contrib yet, but I think you missed a few steps in the how-to:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Egroupware
Check if you missed some steps first.
(PS did you install the correct rpm's?)

According this how-to the default location is:
/opt/egroupware

If it isn't readable, file permissions maybe?

If the contrib doesn't work after checking that you didn't missed anything, a quote from Ray:
"You will get the best & quickest result and answer if you report problems with contribs to bugzilla in the appropriate contrib category"

Good luck.

I am having the same egroupware problem and like you have found that the contribs, howtos and wikis to be of little help. I have also found that the bugzilla is sometimes more complicated than it needs to be and does not give you the information you are looking for. Be patient and you will get the answer from someone. This is the most informative forum I have found. Go to this website http://www.egroupware.org and download the documentation. It might help you might find your answer.

Get over yourself, we are newbies looking for answers and have not learned all of the procedures to get answers, if we even get answers. There are several contribs that i have posted questions on and have NEVER received a reply, if we can't get support than they should not be on the contribs list. Snide, better than thou remarks will not help promote SMEServer or the forum.

I did get some answers on the Egroupware forum,

stating to put it in the webserver root which should be /opt/egroupware/

I did try that with a directory called images and then chmod 777 the dir which should have taken care of the issue, but it didn't work.


Sorry for the slow reply I have been out of town for about a week.

To chmod 777 is usually incorrect advice & dangerous from a security viewpoint.
Something like this is much better
chown -R admin:www images
chmod 770
