Can't setup eGroupWare

[pukkers]

Hi i’m a new linux user and i’m trying to install egroupware. I’ve been running into A LOT OF trouble but i think i’m on the right path now.

I’m running fedora8 fully up2date.

To setup egroupware i did the folowing;

• Firstly mysql, apache and php are fully working and started. *

1. copied the .repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/Fedora_7/)
2. typed yum install egroupware
3. at the end i get these errors:
   "
   […]
   chcon: failed to change context of /var/lib/egroupware to user_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t: Invalid argument

Dependency Installed: eGroupWare.noarch 0:1.4.002-52.1 eGroupWare-egw-pear.noarch 0:1.4.002-52.1
Complete!
"
4. since then i’m to run the setup but can’t manage to do so.
Apparently, it should have installed something in /var/www/html. Indeed something has been installed: 2 files (class.uiasyncservice.inc.php.patch and eGroupWare-1.4.spec). But no sign of egroupware/setup…

Can anyone help me i’m desperate.

pukkers,

I’m going to reply with as much as know, I hope it helps…

I recently installed eGroupware (my first time) on a CentOS v5 server, so i can only assume that this is the equivalent of a Redhat Enterprise v5 install, which should be very similar to a Fedora 8 install…

The only way that I could get the yum package manager to recognize the repositories and install the software for me was to use the Yum Extender (yumex) package.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/yumex/

Now I admit that the gui is not a “manly” as working from a command line, but I’ll tell you, the gui did for me what I was unable to do without it.
In fact, it made the entire eGroupware install quite painless.

As far as where it should show up when installed, you might check the
/usr/share/egroupware
directory, which is where it all (programs) ended up on my system.
This dir structure is about 53MB in size on my system.

Hope some of this helps, best of luck, it’s worth it, eGroupware is pretty slick.

Regards
Kent

Hey. Thanks a lot, i finally managed to find out that it was installed there;-)
eGroupWare is now up and running and i’m going check out how to integrate an application that uses SMS to alert of mettings, send infos, …
I will probably post again.
See ye

As far as where it should show up when installed, you might check the
/usr/share/egroupware
