Unfortunately I'm rapidly approaching the point where the cost of effort is outweighing the advantage of using eGroupware; I'm already weeks behind with what I expected to be a simple deployment.
Its regrettable, because I'm going to have to switch to a commercial product (most of the other OpenSource ones aren't doing it for me)... and this is a government contract (in a shop that is open to OpenSource) - so it would be good to showcase something relatively mature and flexible... but not if its being this much of a pain to launch.
I dont have a tech staff; I'm just a lone consultant that has to "prove" this works before they'll actually assign someone sufficiently technical to make it work.
There's government reasoning for you...

Virtual hosting is usually set to run as user for security which always
requires that either cgi or fcgi be used.
I am surprised that after all these years eGroupware has never addressed
this issue simply from a security standpoint.
