Hardware recommendation
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
Installing libwbxml
To Synchronize with Mobile phones you need a wbxml to xml and vice versa convertor. You need to install libwbxml.
For Max OS X you can find a package here: http://darwinports.com/ (Just search for wbxml)
On Debian / Ubuntu : just type: "apt-get install libwbxml2-utils" on the command line
You can find the source of the program here: http://libwbxml.aymerick.com/
An RPM for Redhat or CentOS:
http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/wbxml2/
Installing TNEF
RPM for Redhat / CentOS http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/tnef/tnef-1.3.3-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
Debian: apt-get install tnef
Installing Group-Office
When you've got all Ok's on the test script you can proceed with the Group-Office installation. Upload the Group-Office files and launch your browser. The installation process will appear and it will guide you through the installation.
