Is a fully working EGW 1.8 out there?

Hi all,

since upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8 I cannot get a full working EGW 1.8.

I have had 1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, everything was fine.

With the upgrade to 1.8. I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 too.

After some days, I noticed the “bug” with the Search in Timesheets (and Infologs too):
http://www.egroupware.org/egroupware/index.php?menuaction=tracker.tracker_ui.edit&tr_id=2791
http://www.egroupware.org/forum#nabble-td2332270

Afterward I downgraded the server to Ubuntu 8.04 (PHP 5.2.4). The search is fine now, but EGW doesn’t send e-mails (notifications) anymore.

It seems there are some php-issues (5.2.4 vs. 5.3.2/5.3.3) with phpmailer too.

After many unsuccessful attempts I have now the following combinations:

EGW 1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 e-mails and search/linking are fine (there is no the same search in timesheets on 1.6 but the same issue exists for linking in Infologs)
EGW 1.8 on Ubuntu 8.04 - search OK, e-mail notifications don’t work
EGW 1.8 on Ubuntu 10.04 - search doesn’t work, e-mail notifications OK
EGW 1.8 on Debian 5 - search OK, e-mail notifications don’t work
EGW 1.8. on Ubuntu 10.10 - search doesn’t work properly (php 5.3.3)
The delivery server are Postfix and Dovecot on all installations.

I tried OpenSuse 11.3 too, the search doesn’t work either

It is possible that the e-mail bug doesn’t occur by all installations, because I have only local delivery (server address “localhost”), the real delivery over internet may work, this I don’t know.

So my question is:

Is there anybody whose EGW 1.8. works (= the aformentioned bug 2791 doesn’t occur and the e-mail notifications are getting sent)?
Could you please tell me which server you run (version of php, mailserver)?

I am going to try Fedora and Centos, but I’m running out of time, and it is very frustrating to install a new server with the same failure :frowning:

Maybe could the developers in Stylite tell on which software they run their developement?

Many thanks for advice

Martin

We’re running eGroupware 1.8 on CentOS 5.5 with PHP 5.2 and Sendmail and use it primarily for group calendaring. I’m not seeing the errors you mentioned, however our eGroupware does occasionally send out email reminders as the wrong user (they do get sent on time though…) which I posted about earlier.

A ‘fully’ functional eGroupware may be an unattainable goal!

We got

  • egroupware 1.8.001
  • Debian 5
  • php 5.2.6
  • postfix 2.5.5

Search works and I get alarms via email, does that help?

brs, Flo-3:

Thanks you very much both, I have now somethin to work with :wink:

BTW: I found out over the weekend that Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) works too.

So it seems php has to be 5.2.6 and above (5.2.4 in Ubutnu 8.04 is unsufficient).

Maybe the developers in Style could change the system requirements on their website so the other users don’t have to learn the hard way?

Hi Martin,

seems to be a problem of different distributions, i already changed the
release notes to minimum 5.2.3 - but this seems to be not enough for all …
