With this RPM you can use GroupOffice on your SME 7.x (and above). You can install it as one single package in a very comfortable way. GroupOffice uses e-mail authentication which means that SME users can login to GroupOffice with their standard SME users and passwords.
Download
You can download this package at smeserver-groupoffice . If you would like to save it directly on your SME Server, you should give this command at a linux-prompt
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/groupoffice/smeserver-groupoffice-2.18.1-7.noarch.rpm
Installation
For installation just hit the following command
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-groupoffice
After finishing the install process you can find groupoffice in the /opt/groupoffice directory.
Update/Upgrade
Please note that this RPM cannot upgrade GroupOffice 2.16.x and 2.17.x
A backup is done by the RPM before updating. All Files and MySQL DataBase are saved in /opt/GO_RPM_BACKUP
You must move the backup to a safe directory.
Uninstallation
For uninstall just hit the following command
yum remove smeserver-groupoffice
You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.
In the new release (2.18.1-x), if you want to completly remove GroupOffice from your server, you need the following command:
sh /root/GO_Full_Uninstall.sh
This will delete GroupOffice's installation files, MySQL DB and SME DB entries.
This automatic step is just for safety, make your own backup before updating/upgrading.
Use
Start your browser with the URL https://servername/groupoffice. You can see a check-box with entries for your domain and '@Group-Office database'. Because of e-mail authentication, GroupOffice can create users automatically. Every SME user can logon with a standard SME user + password.
To admin GroupOffice settings, logon to GroupOffice with 'administrator' with password = 'admin' and choose '@Group-Office database' from the check-box. This user 'administrator' is different from the SME user 'admin'. If GroupOffice has created a user 'admin' based on the SME admin, you can set him admin-rights if you want.
Adjusting accessibility
The default behaviour of GroupOffice is: accessible from LAN + Internet with "forced https" (SSL on + rewrite rule) You can easily change those defaults settings with following commands:
# config setprop groupoffice HTTPS on # config setprop groupoffice HTTPS off
# config setprop groupoffice PublicAccess global # config setprop groupoffice PublicAccess local
Once done, apply modifications and restart Apache:
# expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # svc -h /service/httpd-e-smith
Additional information
After install you will find FAQ and README in /opt/html/
Have much fun with GroupOffice as your preferred Groupware !
