You can optionally install ActiveSync support. To do so follow these steps:

1. Download z-push from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8963.
   We used version 1.5.2 (But it's probably best to take the latest stable version of z-push).
2. Unpack the archive and put it in the "modules" directory of Group-Office.
3. Remove all files in the "backend" directory except for backend.php and diffbackend.php.
4. Copy backend/GObackend.php from modules/sync to modules/z-push/backend/
5. Copy config.php from modules/sync to modules/z-push/
6. Now, you must configure Apache to redirect the URL 'Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync' to the index.php file in the Z-Push directory. This can be done by adding the line:
   
   Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /path/to/groupoffice/modules/z-push/index.php
   
   Don't use a symlink, this won't work.
7. Restart apache2 and configure your mobile device with the servername, username and password and you should be in sync!

IMPORTANT NOTE: remember to replace the z-push files again when you are upgrading Group-Office!

CGI mode

By default z-push only works when PHP is loaded as an Apache module. If you use PHP in CGI mode you'll have to follow this workaround:
