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

[cool34000]

Hey !

The problem for some of you getting this error :

[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

is due to an abnormal character at the end of each line of the script

Remove the bad character (a square or a space) at the end of each line and relaunch... This should be better !

Thanks coolme and cool34000.  I've successfully installed the eGroupware.  However, i can;t sync with my Outlook with eGWOSync.

When I did a server test, it responed "Fault Code: 9999 Reason "xmlrpc service is not enabled in the eGroupWare system configuration: "
"..... And I'm searching for solution.

[cool34000]

Hi !

xmlrpc service is not enabled in the eGroupWare system configuration

Then just enable it !!!

Remember that sync with Outlook will not work if you're using https without a valid certificate, in this case you have to use http instead...

hi! cool34000,

Success after I installed the cert in my browser, Thanks.

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 !

Up !!!

Yep, it works like a charm. I thought I did remove the line, but it turns out i didn't. Sorry for that! (BTW: What a great contrib!)

[cfmunster]

Hey, great contrib! I just did a clean install of SME Server 7.1 and got all the software updates.  I did the install of eGroupware and, like several other people, got to a point where I did the initial config and got a blank screen on the next page in my browser.

To solve the problem, I accessed the server command-line and used vi to edit /opt/egroupware/html/header.inc.php. I had to change these lines:

        define('EGW_SERVER_ROOT','/path/to/egroupware');
        define('EGW_INCLUDE_ROOT','/path/to/egroupware');
        define('PHPGW_SERVER_ROOT','/path/to/egroupware');
        define('PHPGW_INCLUDE_ROOT','/path/to/egroupware');

to these values:

        define('EGW_SERVER_ROOT','/opt/egroupware/html');
        define('EGW_INCLUDE_ROOT','/opt/egroupware/html');
        define('PHPGW_SERVER_ROOT','/opt/egroupware/html');
        define('PHPGW_INCLUDE_ROOT','/opt/egroupware/html');

Not sure why the initial setup didn't write those lines correctly, but they didn't. Now everything works great!

Hi cool34000,

thanks for that great HowTo.
I've just one (or two) question(s). You wrote some pages before to sync eGW and Outlook with eGWOSync there must be a valid certificate on the server. Is that a certificate like from cacert.org? Is there an easier way to obtain a valid certificate?
Thanks!

Lupo

[cool34000]

Hi !

@ lupo : well, I don't know as I don't have a valid certificate myself... CACERT should be OK as many others...
I didn't try to accept SME's default autogenerated certificate to see if all goes without the problem...
If I understand well Cola's last post, it seems that when he accepted his certificate XMLRPC over https worked... I don't know if he is using a valid one or just the autogenerated one... Maybe he could tell more on that subject...

Thank you so far cool34000!

@cola29: could you please provide some information how and which certificate you have installed? Thanks!

When I log on to https://domain/server-manager/ I can view and install the cert to my browser.  it is what the cert I said.

Thanks for that information. Did you use Internet Explorer to install the certificate? Have you changed any of the standard settings in the dialogue? I tried to install the certificate but everytime I open the Servermanager I am asked again if I want to accept the certificate.

As cool34000 described earlier, I tried to do the "Introspection" for xmlrpc. And it says this:

Code: [Select]


Fault: Code: 5 Reason 'Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.1 302 Found)'
methods available at http://192.168.10.250:80/egroupware/xmlrpc.php

instead of that what cool34000 posted. I use egroupware via https and xmlrpc is activated?

The Logintest with eGWOsync fails.

Any Ideas what goes wrong?
Thanks!

I am getting this error. However, if I pico egroupware.sh, I do not see any "squares" and the end of each line. I have also tried opening the fle with notepad and wordpad and not square. Any help would be appreciated.

[cool34000]

Try to do :

Code: [Select]

sh -x egroupware.shWell that's the verbose way, but you should see what's going on... And what's wrong...

[imcintyre]

Thx for quick reply. I found an extra character at the end of the egroupware.sh file. I deleted it and things ran smoothly until I did the installation check and found 3 warnings. I see that the mysql database is enabled, but I don't know if I will use the others it mentions. Is this a concern?
