Hardware reommendation
We recommend an x86 dual core processor of a speed that is not too low or too high on the price/performance ratio. The more RAM you put in the machine, the more users you can serve at the same time. You should start with at least 2GB but 4GB is recommended.
We recommend SAS disks in RAID 1 setup. This has the fastest performance and is redundant.
Preparing the server
You need to make sure your system meets the system requirements. You can see it here:
http://www.group-office.com/Pricing+and+Sign+up/Server+version
You can test the system by running the test script:
http://group-office.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/group-office/trunk/www/install/gotest.php
This script should output all OK's for best performance.
When this is ready you need to have a connection to the server. Preferably you must have an SSH connection but an FTP connection will do too but it a little cumbersome. Apart from that you need a MySQL database with all privileges setup for the user.
So if you want Intermesh to install it then you must provide:
- A working domain where the test script runs OK
- An SSH or FTP connection to this domain
- The MySQL database connection parameters
