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:

1. A working domain where the test script runs OK
2. An SSH or FTP connection to this domain
3. The MySQL database connection parameters
