Documentation and files on opensuse

[Vincent--]

Dear readers,

Recently I found opengroupware as  a very suitable program for me, in order to
be able to access my mail, agenda and contacts everywhere with web access and
clients.
On my server I use opensuse, but I found that there are (almost) no rpms
available in the repositories for version 11.0 and 11.1
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/OpenGroupware/) I've worked
around this by installing the SLE_10 rpms and they appear to work. At least, I
get a response at localhost/OpenGroupware,  but I get a error 500. I wanted to
check some logs, but in apache error and access logs I found nothing useful.
From the installed files, I noticed a lot of files are installed in /usr/bin,
/usr/lib and /usr/share/opengroupware-5.5 and 1.1 But I could not find any
clear man pages or manual documents. The manuals on opengroupware.org are
about a running server, but I can not find a manual on how to get a server
running.
I hope someone can help me get ogo working on opensuse 11.x!

Thanks and with kind regards,

Vincent

See WMOGAG,  it has a whole section on Installation and explains the  
architecture.  I'd guess your mod_ngobjweb Apache module is not  
loaded, or the OGo service daemon is not started.

I run it on openSUSE 11.1 and  I do all my development on openSUSE  
11.1 [11.1 GNOME is the best desktop ever]. But there are no packages  
on OBS because OBS *demands* perfect packages and as of 11.1 the  
standard is terribly specific - I haven't had time to create  
satisfactory packages for 11.1.  The source packages should build  
locally on 11.1 if you can do an rpmbuild...  I have to focus my  
[limited] time on CentOS since that is what "real" servers run.

Otherwise possibly I can just send you openSUSE 11.1 packages.

Thanks for the fast reply, I will read the manual, I see it contains quite a
lot of information. If you could send me the source-rpms, just to be sure, it
would be very nice.
I use opensuse because I started using it long long time ago for my desktop
and it seemed a logical choice for my server. Now I notice it might not be the
optimal choice and I consider freebsd for a next server, but that is a whole
different discussion.

Thanks!

I've been busy with some other things, mainly because I got a new job. Now I
am focusing on OGo again and am still a little stuck and in doubt. I run
opensuse 11.0 on my server. Do you recommend that I use the SLES_10 packages
and try to get it to work by hacking? Or do you have some sort of guide on how
to build my own packages for this version? /Or/ should I try to do something
without the packages and start working with the sources?

Thanks and happy holidays,

Vincent

Pull the source RPMs from the OBS and they should build just fine;  they
only fail to build *binary* packages on OBS because of standards
compliance issues I haven't had the time to hack around.
