Topic: Egroupware on SMe8

[soprom]

I think you are mixing things up so much that I can't follow you.  Sorry about that.
If you don't have the file header.inc.php, it is because egroupware.yourdomain.com/setup/ has not been done yet.

Installation folder should be /opt/egw/1.6/egroupware

[newburns]

okay, that makes sense. The error was returned under the svnupdaterms. So, I did everything right, I just can't get to the egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com/setup
I even tried egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com/setup/index, but its not coming up. Is there something extra that I need to do to setup a subdomain?
I tried to setup a test.rburnsplumbing.com using the same IBay I use for my regular website, but it didn't come up. I think I may be missing something to setup a subdomain, because all the files that should be in /opt/egw/1.6

***Update***
I registered the /opt/egw/1.6 to my primary domain, rburnsplumbing.com, and it worked. So the installation is fine. But I'm just not doing something right with the subdomain and registering it. But now, I have a new issue. I can't get my primary domain back to the ibay that host my website files.

What I did first was

Code: [Select]

mydomain=rburnsplumbing.com
db domains setprop $mydomain Content egw/1.6/egroupware
db domains setprop $mydomain WebApp yes
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify $myibay... That worked, but under http://www.rburnsplumbing.com
Now I went to domains in the server-manager and changed the ibay back to my web hosting ibay, and it is coming up restricted access Error 403
Then I ...

Code: [Select]

mydomain=rburnsplumbing.com
db domains setprop $mydomain Content /home/e-smith/files/ibays/(my hosting ibay)/html
db domains setprop $mydomain WebApp yes
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify $myibay
... but that didn't solve it either. What should I do. Again, the egroupware 1.6 works, but the subdomain is not being directed as such. And now, I can't get it back to normal for my primary domain and the web hosting ibay.

[newburns]

Okay, sorry for the constant post, but it's like real time. As it happens, if there are problems, I post. I assume that's ok.
Anyway, I managed to eliminate my primary domain issue with http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,45744.0.html
Now, my last problem is my subdomain. I did all the steps, created the two virtual domains, ie egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com set to no ibay and internet dns; and davegw.rburnsplumbing.com set to egw i-bay whcih has no php,cgi execution and dns resolve locally.
But after that, and the steps, egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com doesn't come up. So, now the question is how do I make a subdomain for this instance. I read http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,33527.msg143087.html#msg143087 and http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,38397.msg174778.html#msg174778

I was also thinking, should I make a link on my main web page to the egw/16/egroupware folder? But that really doesn't solve the issue of the subdomain.
I read somewhere that I have to do something with my registrar, sitelutions.com, and set my subdomain in there. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
And again, this is the last hurdle before I have a complete eGroupware setup successfully.

[soprom]

egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com doesn't come up.

What is the result of this:

Code: [Select]

db domains show | grep egroupware

should I make a link on my main web page to the egw/16/egroupware folder?

Not I understand what you mean, but I think it not relavant to the current subject.

[newburns]

What is the result of this:

Code: [Select]

db domains show | grep egroupware

egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com=domain
    Content=egw/1.6/egroupware

But mary may have answered this for me. She said I needed to set it up with my registrar, sitelutions.com in order for it to be available externally. http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,45744.msg222853.html#msg222853
Not really 100% what she means with the dns and zone record setup, but at least I know what to look into. Basically, currently I have an "A" record for my ip to rburnsplumbing.com and an "MX" record for what I believe to be my mail. And Ieve there's two more, www and mail, I tried to add egroupware, seeing how the other two were prefixes, but no avail. So I will research some more, thanx guys.

[soprom]

You' need this:

db domains setprop egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com WebApp yes
signal-event domain-modify egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com
sv t httpd-e-smith

[newburns]

Well, I temporarily copied everything to run from my website/html Ibay. which is sufficient for now, to get a hang of things. But quick question, on the setup.
I got a ton of options under setting up my "domain: default (mysql)"

1) FTP Site: Should I create an IBay specifically for an FTP site concerning eGroupware or is this irrelevant
2) The IMAP port I guessed to be 993
3) Biggest question I have is my authentication information. Is it possible to use the accounts already in the server through LDAP, and still be able to add new accounts?

[soprom]

to run from my website/html Ibay. which is sufficient for now

Well, you wanted me to explain my method using subversion and that is why I posted it here in the first place. You are now using a completly different method for which you'll probably find info on the forum.

As I said, you might want to see http://www.egroupware.org for documentation and the wiki.contribs.org/Egroupware also has very specific help to setup EGW.

[newburns]

I'm sorry. I was still using the subversion method, I just changed the location of egwupdate, and svnupdateperms to an ibay html location. Don't want u to think I had u help me with all that for nothing. Turns out it didn't work anyway, none of the apps work properly, and the pear xml-feeds is not found, even though it is installed. I'm still trying to get it with this subdomain thing. Wondering,if I gave you access to my SME, maybe you could give it a once over, and then you will know if you should add a little more to your walkthrough, or if I'm a complete idiot. Basically, my installation works, I just can't get to it via egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com
Im still missing something, just don't know what it is yet.

Please stop ignoring the obvious.
Your domain egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com does not resolve correctly,
Do you have nameservers setup for that domain ?

Here is a ping result, and the IP shown (216.239.122.34) is not the IP of your server (which is 173.161.83.65)

to run tests, then talk to whoever maintains your domain records to get it set up correctly

[newburns]

Thanx, the linksshed some light on my situation. I set up egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com as a nameserver, which is incorrect. I had to change my subdomain to groupware.rburnsplumbing.com and add it as a host to my registrar, not my nameserver. Thanx, everything is all up.

1. DNS is not an issue for now since you're working from your LAN. It may wait.
2. Using an ibay for EGW is not recommended since we set specific permissions and templates.
3. If you try this and that, it's impossible for me to follow and to help you.
4. Did you apply these:

Code: [Select]

db domains setprop egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com WebApp yes
signal-event domain-modify egroupware.rburnsplumbing.com
sv t httpd-e-smith

> 1. DNS is not an issue for now since you're working from your LAN. It may wait.

That is not necessarily correct. If sme resolution is set to external DNS servers (the default), then the domain will not resolve locally, which I believe was the case here.
I can see the egroupware login screen is now web accessible since the domain DNS was fixed.

[soprom]

I aggree...

@newburns: you should test this from your PC

Code: [Select]

ping egroupware.rburnsplumbing.comYou should have successfull pings...

He changed it to
groupware.rburnsplumbing.com
which works OK
