Can't get email notification to work

awshirley 2010-08-21 06:31:08 UTC #1

I’ve installed EGroupware for a small company. It’s been working pretty well so far, but I’ve got a big problem with no email pop-up notifications from the web browser.

I’ve configured notifications as outlined in http://www.egroupware.org/index.php?page_name=egroupware_wiki&lang=&wikipage=Notifications. I can’t see the “Check/uncheck the Folders in ‘Notify when new mails arrive on these folders’” in the user email preferences.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Verify the following:

Which version did you install? According to the wiki the option is available
in revision 26548. I’m running 1.7.003 Rev 31647 and I see the preference
’notify when new mails arrive on these folders’.
Did you grant access to the notification application to the e-mail users?

Hi Mike,

I’m using 1.6.003 that I downloaded from egroupware.org. How can I get 1.7.003 vevision 26548?

I did grant access to the notification app to the email users.

Hi Andy,

From what I can tell you have to install from trunk in order to get the
functionality that you need (someone please jump in and correct me if I’m
wrong).

Installing EGroupware from trunk (linux crib notes):

download egroupware from trunk

linux:/ # md ~/downloads/
linux:/ # cd ~/downloads/

linux:~/downloads # svn checkout
http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/trunk/egroupware
linux:~/downloads # cd ./egroupware/

linux:~/downloads/egroupware # svn checkout
http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/trunk/admin/
linux:~/downloads/egroupware # svn checkout
http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/trunk/developer_tools/
linux:~/downloads/egroupware # svn checkout
http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/trunk/egw_pear/
linux:~/downloads/egroupware # svn checkout
http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/trunk/etemplate/
linux:~/downloads/egroupware # svn checkout
http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/trunk/phpgwapi/

Repeat the above for all applications that you need to access…

Launch the the egroupware admin application and backup the databases
backup the egroupware 1.6.003 application files.

linux:/ # md ~/backup
linux:/ # mv /usr/share/egroupware/ ~/backup/egroupware.1.6.003/

copy trunk file

linux:/ # cp -rp ~/downloads/egroupware/ /usr/share/egroupware/

restore header.inc.php

linux:/ # cd /usr/share/egroupware/

option 1. create a symbolic link. (If you installed egroupware from RPM then
chances are that header.inc.php exists in /var/lib/egroupware/).

linux:/usr/share/egroupware/ # ln -s /var/lib/egroupware/header.inc.php

option 2. copy the header.inc.php from the 1.6.003 backup

linux:/usr/share/egroupware/ # cp ~/backup/egroupware.1.6.003/header.inc.php

run config and update the applications and databases.

****** FAIR WARNING ******

I make no warranty claim. If you do not feel comfortable modifying the
egroupware databases by hand or diving into source code then installing from svn
is not for you! I’ve been hacking away at egroupware for 5 years and only now
feel confident that I can deliver the trunk version to my clients with no
service interruptions and only minor inconvenience.

Mike,

Thanks so much for the help! I’m now running 1.7.003 and all of the problems have disappeared.
