Help with eGroupWare GPL install on Centos 5.7?

[midol]

Hi,

I’ve got a server running Centos 5.7 under xen virtualization. It
primarily hosts web sites, a few lists and some email. I’ve added the
following repo data:

[server_eGroupWare]
name=eGroupware (CentOS_5)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/CentOS_5/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/CentOS_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

This is in a file, appropriately named, in /etc/yum.repos.d

Yum knows about it and finds the data and this is what happens when I
try to install eGW:

]# yum install eGroupware

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
  package-cleanup --dupes
  rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I’ve tried the suggested remedies with no luck. So any advice?
references to more reading?

--------- part 2 -----------

I have not used eGW before. I’d like the users of a specific site to
access it through a URL like site.tld/ecal for the CalAV function,
which is is all I plan to use. I don’t know how or how difficult to
set up this is. Advice here would be welcome, too.

Thanks very much,

Dave

Hi Dave,

you problem is EGroupware depending on php >= 5.2.1.

There are two solutions for CentOS:

a) use current PHP 5.3.10 from IUS Community repo:

http://iuscommunity.org/Docs/ClientUsageGuide

Basic installation is:
wget
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1-2.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
wget
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/epel-release-1-1.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm epel-release*.rpm
yum install php53u-common php53-cli php53u-pear

b) use older php 5.3 from CentOS 5.7:

yum install php53-common php53-cli php-pear

I recommend a), as that’s what we use in our EGroupware hosting too.

After that you install EGroupware.

Hi,

I’ve got a server running Centos 5.7 under xen virtualization. It
primarily hosts web sites, a few lists and some email. I’ve added the
following repo data:

[server_eGroupWare]
name=eGroupware (CentOS_5)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/CentOS_5/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/CentOS_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

This is in a file, appropriately named, in /etc/yum.repos.d

Yum knows about it and finds the data and this is what happens when I
try to install eGW:

I’ve tried the suggested remedies with no luck. So any advice?
references to more reading?

--------- part 2 -----------

I have not used eGW before. I’d like the users of a specific site to
access it through a URL like site.tld/ecal for the CalAV function,
which is is all I plan to use. I don’t know how or how difficult to
set up this is. Advice here would be welcome, too.

Thanks very much,

Dave

Quoting Ralf Becker rb@stylite.de:

Hi Dave,

you problem is EGroupware depending on php >= 5.2.1.

There are two solutions for CentOS:

a) use current PHP 5.3.10 from IUS Community repo:

http://iuscommunity.org/Docs/ClientUsageGuide

Basic installation is:
wget
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1-2.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
wget
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/epel-release-1-1.ius.el5.noarch.rpm

these don’t resolve

d

rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm epel-release*.rpm
yum install php53u-common php53-cli php53u-pear

b) use older php 5.3 from CentOS 5.7:

yum install php53-common php53-cli php-pear

I recommend a), as that’s what we use in our EGroupware hosting too.

After that you install EGroupware.

Ralf

Hi,

I’ve got a server running Centos 5.7 under xen virtualization. It
primarily hosts web sites, a few lists and some email. I’ve added the
following repo data:

[server_eGroupWare]

snip!

Had exactly the same issue. The problem is that php53-* is perceived as a different name to php-* bu yum, rpm etc, and hence the auto process to sort everything out fails. This issue also applies to some older hosted sites. Solution is:

1. Manually record and remove all php-* rpms (as root):

#rpm -qa | grep php

This gives a list of php rpms on the system:

psa-appvault-phpdig-1.85-8203120080409011645

php-common-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos

The psa rpms are associated with the Parrallels Plesk admin console, so don’t touch them. Record this list (in case you need to reinstall, however this process hasn’t failed for me yet on a CentOS 5 system.

php-common-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-mbstring-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-pear-1.8.1-2.el5.centos
php-devel-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-pdo-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-pgsql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-xml-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-pear-Net-Socket-1.0.10-1.el5
php-mcrypt-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.3
php-cli-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-imap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-pear-Net-SMTP-1.4.4-1.el5

Remove the php-pear-* rpms first (because if you remove the php-pear first it may cause a few extra headaches later on and require you to reinstall PEAR again from scratch.

rpm -e php-pear-Net-SMTP

etc, and then the remaining php rpms.

At this stage there may be some applications that complain about their dependency on php. If necessary use the --force option. Don’t worry about these dependencies as you will ensure that all dependencies are fully filled with php53. Once you’ve removed all the offending php-* rpms, try running yum again for you egroupware, and you may find it does everything necessary for you. If not, you may have to download the php53 rpms and then carry out:

#rpm -ivh php53*

on the downloaded rpms after which egroupware shouldn’t complain.

Finally do a check:

#rpm -qa | grep php

and check that you aren’t missing any php53 rpms needed to replace the original php-* ones. At this point everything should be pretty much plain sailing.
